Features
--------

[](#features)

- PSR-4 autoloading using Composer
- Pre-configured [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) for testing
- Pre-configured [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/) for static analysis
- Pre-configured [PHPCS](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/) for code style checking, and formatting
- Ready-to-use `.editorconfig`, `.gitattributes`, and `.gitignore`
- Composer scripts for common tasks
- Visual Studio Code workspace settings with the extensions recommendation for development
- [Dev Container](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) configuration for consistent development environment inside a Docker container
- GitHub Actions workflow for running tests and static analysis on pull request
- [Dependabot](https://github.com/dependabot) configuration for automatic dependency updates

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Recommended

[](#recommended)

To use this starter template it's recommended to use the Github template feature. You can create a new repository using this template by clicking the **"Use this template"** button on the repository page.

Then, after cloning the new repository, you can run:

```
composer install
```

...to install the dependencies.

### Using Composer

[](#using-composer)

To use this starter template, run:

```
composer create-project syntatis/composer-starter --prefer-source --no-install
```

Replace `` with the desired name for your package. This will create a new directory with the specified name. Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:

```
cd
composer install
```

Note

**Don't forget to update** the `name`, `description`, and `authors` fields in the `composer.json` file to reflect your own package's details.

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

This starter template comes with several Composer scripts to help you with common development tasks such as testing, `linting`, formatting, and static analysis. You can run these commands using `composer ` from the root of your project.

  Command Description    `composer test` Runs the tests using PHPUnit.   `composer lint` Checks code style using PHP\_CodeSniffer (PHPCS).   `composer format` Formats the code using PHPCBF (PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer).   `composer analyze` Runs static analysis using PHPStan.
