Coding standard rules for clean, consistent, and readable PHP code. No configuration needed—just install and let it handle the rest. They run best with [ECS](https://github.com/symplify/easy-coding-standard). Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require symplify/coding-standard symplify/easy-coding-standard --dev ``` 1. Register in `ecs.php` config: ``` # ecs.php use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\Config\ECSConfig; return ECSConfig::configure() ->withPreparedSets(symplify: true); ``` 2. And run: ``` # dry-run without changes vendor/bin/ecs # apply changes vendor/bin/ecs --fix ``` 23 Rules to Keep Your Code Clean ================================ [](#23-rules-to-keep-your-code-clean) ArrayListItemNewlineFixer ------------------------- [](#arraylistitemnewlinefixer) Indexed PHP array item has to have one line per item - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\ArrayNotation\ArrayListItemNewlineFixer`](../src/Fixer/ArrayNotation/ArrayListItemNewlineFixer.php) ``` -$value = ['simple' => 1, 'easy' => 2]; +$value = ['simple' => 1, +'easy' => 2]; ``` ArrayOpenerAndCloserNewlineFixer -------------------------------- [](#arrayopenerandclosernewlinefixer) Indexed PHP array opener \[ and closer \] must be on own line - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\ArrayNotation\ArrayOpenerAndCloserNewlineFixer`](../src/Fixer/ArrayNotation/ArrayOpenerAndCloserNewlineFixer.php) ``` -$items = [1 => 'Hey']; +$items = [ +1 => 'Hey' +]; ``` BlankLineAfterStrictTypesFixer ------------------------------ [](#blanklineafterstricttypesfixer) Strict type declaration has to be followed by empty line - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\Strict\BlankLineAfterStrictTypesFixer`](../src/Fixer/Strict/BlankLineAfterStrictTypesFixer.php) ``` declare(strict_types=1); + namespace App; ``` LineLengthFixer --------------- [](#linelengthfixer) Array items, method parameters, method call arguments, new arguments should be on same/standalone line to fit line length. 🔧 **configure it!** - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\LineLength\LineLengthFixer`](../src/Fixer/LineLength/LineLengthFixer.php) ``` -function some($veryLong, $superLong, $oneMoreTime) -{ +function some( + $veryLong, + $superLong, + $oneMoreTime +) { } -function another( - $short, - $now -) { +function another($short, $now) { } ``` MethodChainingNewlineFixer -------------------------- [](#methodchainingnewlinefixer) Each chain method call must be on own line - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\Spacing\MethodChainingNewlineFixer`](../src/Fixer/Spacing/MethodChainingNewlineFixer.php) ``` -$someClass->firstCall()->secondCall(); +$someClass->firstCall() +->secondCall(); ``` Doc block malform rules ----------------------- [](#doc-block-malform-rules) Single-task rules that each fix one kind of `@param`/`@return`/`@var` malform.
