PHP CS Fixer VS pint

PHP-CS-Fixer automatically fixes PHP coding standard issues, maintaining a clean codebase and adhering to coding standards. It can be integrated into the development workflow to ensure all code complies with defined standards.

While you're at it, also include code-style checkers like phpcs, phpmd and/or php-cs-fixer

I run two tools for this - php-cs-fixer on PHP 5.6 and the built-in syntax checker(php -l).

You can use this library to help automate this: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer 😊

To be bit a elaborate and for a proper updated installtion process, here is what I did: I used the [latest versio]n(https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/releases/tag/v3.10.0) of php cs fixer then entered the command that followed to install php-cs-fixer.

PHP CS Fixer is able to generate a GitLab formatted report which GitLab can use to show you any new violations in the code or even if code style violations have been tackled.

Laravel Pint is an opinionated PHP code style fixer for minimalists. Pint is built on top of PHP-CS-Fixer and makes it simple to ensure that your code style stays clean and consistent. Pint is a new addition to the Laravel framework.

I've been using pint for formatting php files with null-ls.nvim. Few days ago null-ls.nvim has announced that the plugin will be archived in few months so I started migrating all my formatters and linter from null-ls to efm-langserver. I got other things such as prettier, black, isort, mypy, etc. working but can't get pint to work with php files: If I run pint via efm-langserver, everything is deleted from the buffer, and the saved file is formatted separately. How do I setup efm-langserver correctly to work with pint? Below is my config.yml for pint currently. yaml tools: pint: &pint format-command: "pint --no-interaction --quiet ${INPUT}" format-stdin: false languages: php: - <<: *pint Thank you.

Well, the rules are defined here: https://github.com/laravel/pint/blob/main/resources/presets/laravel.php

Static Analysis Tools - there are a number of tools that help you to manage code style (PHPCS, PHP-CSFixer, and a new one, Laravel Pint), as well as tools to analyse the "correctness" of your code (Psalm, PHPstan, in particular LaraStan).

and as per me, Pint is the so far most sophisticated code formatter i have ever user in the reference of PHP. You can find more details about laravel/pint here.
