1. pint

   1 16 2,893 8.7 PHP

   Laravel Pint is an opinionated PHP code style fixer for minimalists.

   

   My biggest challenge while coding Sudorealm was dealing with code inconsistencies between features, caused by the long breaks I took between development sessions. I know you can relate to this! This is where laravel/pint 🍺 comes to play.

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. pint-strict-preset

   Pint strict preset is an insanely defensive coding style preset for those who demand meticulous precision in their projects.

   

   Now look... this might come to bite me in the future... But let's worry about the future when it finally comes. Check out Pint Strict Presets and if you want to learn what each rule does. Well, I am not telling you... go find out here PHP Coding Standards Fixer

4. Pest

   3 41 10,159 9.3 PHP

   Pest is an elegant PHP testing Framework with a focus on simplicity, meticulously designed to bring back the joy of testing in PHP.

   

   That’s why the next step in my workflow is Pest—a modern, elegant testing framework for Laravel built by the legend, Nuno Maduro. Let’s talk about how testing ensures my app isn’t just "correct" in theory, but actually works as expected.

5. Rector

   4 119 9,512 9.9 PHP

   Instant Upgrades and Automated Refactoring of any PHP 5.3+ code

   

   One of the biggest pains in maintaining Sudorealm, or any project, to be honest, is keeping the codebase up to date, especially when upgrading versions or adopting new best practices. This is where Rector comes into play.
