Coding Standard & Linters

We currently use three separate linters to make sure your code stays in shape:

• Psalm - a static analysis tool for PHP
• PHPStan - PHP Static Analysis Tool
• PHP CS Fixer - PHP Coding Standards Fixer

To invoke the linters we provide the following commands in all our PHP projects:

• composer cs - will run CS Fixer and shows planned changes
• composer cs-fix - will apply the changes shown by composer cs
• composer psalm - run Psalm
• composer phpstan - run PHPStan
• composer lint - will run all linters (cs/psalm/phpstan)

In some cases we run the linters as a git pre-commit hook using brainmaestro/composer-git-hooks

You can see an example configuration for all the linters and the pre-commit hook in our example bundle:
