Thanks @andreaselia

@jasonmccreary First of all, thank you for making this available to the public, it's very appreciated.

Just a question though, is there a reason why array_indentation and method_chaining_indentation were left out? It seems pretty much enforced in Laravel if not mistaken.

@piljac1, not to my knowledge. May have just been implied. What do you believe they should be set to and I can run them through the Shift test suite to see the implications.

@jasonmccreary Well, the array_indentation is part of their StyleCI preset. As for the method_chaining_indentation, it is not, but accross their doc and their internal code, it seemed pretty consistent from what I saw.

I personally set them both to true in our company's fixer package and so far, it seems to work out well. However, it was newly instored, so I don't have long term experience with both rules.

EDIT : After review, Laravel doesn't always abide to the behavior of 'method_chaining_indentation' => true, so it is probably better if it is left out of a general Laravel preset. So that will be a rule that we will add ourselves as an in house rule. However, since the array_indentation is part of their StyleCI preset, I'm pretty sure it would be justified to add it to Shift's rules.

🚀 This has been updated for PHP CS Fixer version 3. 🚀

Big thanks to @cstriuli for their initial work. A few additional options have been set to preserve the previous behavior of Shift where an explicit style is not defined by Laravel. In addition, some of the option values are the same as the default. Again, these were kept to be explicit.

@laravel-shift is the one at the top of the file the correct version or the one here https://gist.github.com/laravel-shift/cab527923ed2a109dda047b97d53c200#gistcomment-3860156

@lionslair I believe it's the one at the top mate. You can tell it was updated under the "Revisions" tab.

@lionslair, yes, the one at the top. Note the new filename too. Anything in the comments is user contributed and may not be exactly what Shift uses.

Thank you for confirmation

as a sidenote. is there a phpcs (php_codesniffer) equivalent? This since most Static code analyzer services. CodeClimate, Codacy etc... only support it 🤔🤷‍♂️

Thanks for this amazing configuration. I have a small problem, would appreciate if someone can help.

Double quotes are getting converted to single quotes in multiline string. I commented 'single_quote' => true,, but no luck.

@milanchheda, this is probably the default setting now. You may want to try setting it to false or looking at other options which deal with quotes.

sort order, when using "use function" imports
'ordered_imports' => [
'sort_algorithm' => 'alpha',
'imports_order' => ['const', 'class', 'function'],
],
?

https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator/#version:3.3|fixer:ordered_imports

@chrillep what are you trying to say?

Is there a way to get this:

$response
    ->assertJson(fn (AssertableJson $json) =>
        $json->has(3)
             ->first(fn ($json) =>
                $json->where('id', 1)
                     ->where('name', 'Victoria Faith')
                     ->missing('password')
                     ->etc()
             )
    );

(Get it from here: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/http-tests#asserting-against-json-collections)

instead of

$response
    ->assertJson(fn (AssertableJson $json) =>$json->has(3)
             ->first(fn ($json) =>
                $json->where('id', 1)
                     ->where('name', 'Victoria Faith')
                     ->missing('password')
                     ->etc()
             )
    );

If I'm removing "no_multiline_whitespace_around_double_arrow" it will not fix arrays anymore :-(

Can someone help me? :-)

trivial, but maybe this would be an addition:

'return_type_declaration' => ['space_before' => 'none'],

that checks/fixes a return type to show as

function foo(): T

... and not, as

function foo():T

...or

function foo() : T

As per https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/#45-method-and-function-arguments + https://docs.styleci.io/fixers#return_type_declaration. Docs: https://cs.symfony.com/doc/rules/function_notation/return_type_declaration.html

https://github.com/laravel/pint/blob/6e3ed122b88668533ab28a621f856999f1cb8b35/resources/presets/laravel.php
wonder if we can just export the php-cs-config from pint until IDE's support it

@chrillep, yes, Pint used this Gist as a base, but the community has since tweaked some of the rules (like one @epalmans mentioned). So if you aren't using Laravel Pint, but PHP CS Fixer directly, you may want to pull from their ruleset direction - as Shift will likely start using Pint internally.

I don't want that space in between! and empty for example, how to disable.

set/override the not_operator_with_space rule (https://cs.symfony.com/doc/rules/operator/not_operator_with_space.html)

@epalmans thanks!

how can i remove an unused parameter, example $model?

I don’t think php-cs-fixer will do that, as it’s not necessarily a code-style issue. A static analyzer will pick up on such thing though (like PHPStan or Psalm)

@epalmans thanks!

quite right - but needs some help :)

A reminder, this Gist is no longer being maintained as Laravel now has a first-party formatter - Laravel Pint. It is constantly updated to match their code style. I suggest using it. If for some reason you want to use PHP CS Fixer directly, I suggest copying Pint's base ruleset as a start.
