GrumPHP VS PHP CS Fixer

GrumPHP: A PHP code-quality tool.

Depends on what you mean by plugin, but a GrumPHP is a great tool. It registers a pre-commit git hook that runs whatever quality tools you've configured every time someone commits. If one of the checks fail, the commit is aborted. It's very easy to install and configure.

sounds like you heard of Grumphp

Of course, in this simple way, you will need run the command before commits to ensure a correct code style. We can improve this we can to use some pre-commit hook, like a grumphp https://github.com/phpro/grumphp.

How does this compare to existing tools like GrumPHP or Captain Hook? Why should I use it instead?

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/

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.
