enlightn VS larastan

Enlightn scans your code to check whether it follows best practices in performance, security, and reliability. It's a paid tool, but it also has free checks you can use. At the time of writing, it has 64 checks in the free version and 128 checks in the paid version. For the purposes of this article, we'll only be using the free version.

There are other tools out there, such as Enlightn and Dependabot, that help you to detect dependencies in your project with security vulnerabilities. But I'd like to think of these types of tools more as being "reactive". By that, I mean that they can alert you of vulnerable dependencies after you've installed them in your project. This can result in you introducing potential security holes into your applications without being aware at first. This is by no means a discredit to any of these types of tools though. Vulnerabilities are always being discovered in frameworks, packages, and libraries. So being able to detect them is a great way to stay on top of your project's security.

In this article, we're going to briefly look at different things to look out for when auditing your app's security, or adding new validation. We'll also look at how you can use "Enlightn" to detect potential mass assignment vulnerabilities.

Checkout laravel enlghtn, scans all dependencies, we have it wired for all prs and nightly on all code bases. https://www.laravel-enlightn.com/

you can also check https://www.laravel-enlightn.com

Uhh did you check the link? It's another product. The security checker is an independent package. The Enlightn Github repo is here and the security checker is here. Lol you were so busy criticizing about emojis, you don't even know what I was talking about.

Larastan is a Coding Standards Fixer tool, It's a PHPStan wrapper for Laravel. Larastan focuses on finding errors in your code. It catches whole classes of bugs even before you write tests for the code.

Static analysis or Laravel-lovers

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).

https://github.com/nunomaduro/larastan should help with this specifically

New 0.7.3 release includes a rule that can check Laravel Octane compatibility of your application. It basically automates the things mentioned in the official docs. You can give it a try now! And let me know what do you think!

again, not trying to get into a symfony vs laravel debate, but you can do static analysis https://github.com/nunomaduro/larastan
