Safely upgrade from PHP 7.4 to 8.1 using Rector

• enum

  2 748 3.2 PHP

  Strongly typed enums in PHP supporting autocompletion and refactoring

  

That last rule SpatieEnumClassToEnumRector is skipped because I'm using the spatie/enum package, and I don't want it to be converted to PHP native enums automatically. The reason for that is that the Spatie package has some nice little helpers, and it's safer in my opinion to migrate some of the enums manually.

• Rector

  114 8,258 9.9 PHP

  Instant Upgrades and Automated Refactoring of any PHP 5.3+ code

  

With that said, we're going to upgrade a Laravel project running on the soon-to-be-dead PHP 7.4 (Nov 28). Currently, the last stable PHP version is 8.1 and we're going to upgrade to it using a tool called Rector. Rector will help us move on to the new syntax in a very comfortable way.
