GrumPHP VS PHP CS Fixer

sounds like you heard of Grumphp

Are you aware of GrumPHP?

I use grumphp to run phplint, phpstan, Easy coding standard (includes php-cs fixer) and phpunit. All four will automatically run before every commit, stopping any 'below standard' code from being committed. Example config file

like valplet said: https://github.com/phpro/grumphp But also: https://styleci.io/ integrates nicely with git For client side code formatting check: https://prettier.io/

GrumPHP with these tasks: https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/composer.md https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/composer_normalize.md https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/composer_require_checker.md https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/git_commit_message.md https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/phpcs.md https://github.com/phpro/grumphp/blob/master/doc/tasks/psalm.md

GrumPHP: A PHP code-quality tool.

grumphp can be configured to listen to git commit commands and will not allow until all quality checks passed.

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 😊

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.

Do you think it should have been just a php-cs-fixer preset, just like the symfony & PSR ones? Well it kinda is, but with extra steps. Also is there a way to use the existing presets in pint? Like the migration ones - https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/blob/master/src/RuleSet/Sets/PHP81MigrationSet.php ?

Coding Standards Fixer

Symfony (well Fabien Potencier, lead dev of Symfony) has created https://github.com/friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer years ago. And although maintenance is transferred to the FriendsOfPHP organisation, it comes with a Symfony code style preset, as well as PSR based presets.

The setup I currently have and hope that helps you, is having installed PHP-CS-Fixer along with this extension for VSCode to format the files on save (not doing the key combination or command "Format document with..." but maybe other extensions that use PHP-CS-Fixer could solve this problem), then you could use this useful configurator, there are plenty of rules you can set or select the predefined based on the given standards, the one you are looking for is "array_syntax" there you can export the selected rules and create a ".php-cs-fixer.php" file that has your configurations, set the path to the file on the extension settings and you should be ready to format flies con the fly (or you could use the command line to format a given directory and not file by file)

Maybe you mean using tools like php-cs-fixer https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer to just handle this automatically - that's certainly what I'd recommend
