FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Other - ✅ Generic ✅ Varies (Twig, PHP native, etc.) ✅ Twig-CS-Fixer (if twig/twig installed)

Note: Template formatter configurations are only installed if the corresponding template engine is detected in your dependencies. For example, Twig-CS-Fixer config is only installed if twig/twig is present in your composer.json.

Features

Installation

Automatic Dependency Installation

During installation, the plugin will:

  1. ✅ Detect your framework automatically
  2. ✅ Install configuration files for your framework
  3. ✅ Check for template engine dependencies (e.g., Twig for Twig-CS-Fixer)
  4. ✅ Install template formatter configs only if dependencies are present
  5. ✅ Check for suggested dependencies (Rector, PHP-CS-Fixer, etc.)
  6. ✅ Ask if you want to install them (in interactive mode)

Example output:

Note: If Twig is not installed, you'll see:

Then you may see:

Note: If you're using Rector 2.x, the optional packages (rector-symfony, rector-doctrine, rector-phpunit) will be automatically skipped as they are not compatible with Rector 2.x yet.

If you choose yes, dependencies will be installed automatically. If no, you can install them manually later.

Manual Installation

If you prefer to install dependencies manually or in non-interactive mode:

Note: The plugin automatically detects your Rector version:

After installation, the following files are created in your project root:

File Purpose Overwritten on update?
.rector.php Rector main config ❌ Never
.rector.custom.php Your customizations ❌ Never
.php-cs-fixer.php PHP-CS-Fixer main config ❌ Never
.php-cs-fixer.custom.php Your customizations ❌ Never
.twig-cs-fixer.php Twig-CS-Fixer main config (if twig/twig installed) ❌ Never
.twig-cs-fixer.custom.php Your customizations (if twig/twig installed) ❌ Never

Template Engine Support:

Quick Start

Rector

PHP-CS-Fixer

Template Formatters

Twig-CS-Fixer (All frameworks with Twig)

Note: Twig-CS-Fixer configuration is automatically installed if twig/twig is detected in your project dependencies, regardless of framework.

Supported frameworks: Symfony (default), Laravel (optional), Yii (optional), CakePHP (optional), Laminas (optional), Slim (optional), Generic

Blade Templates (Laravel)

Laravel Blade templates (.blade.php files) are PHP files with special syntax and can be formatted using PHP-CS-Fixer. The Laravel configuration includes .blade.php files automatically.

Note: Some Blade-specific directives (like @if, @foreach, etc.) may need manual review after formatting, as PHP-CS-Fixer treats them as PHP code.

Composer Scripts

✨ Automatic Installation: The plugin automatically adds Composer scripts to your composer.json during installation. You don't need to add them manually!

The following scripts are automatically added (if they don't already exist):

All frameworks:

If Twig is installed:

Laravel only:

Note: Existing scripts in your composer.json are never overwritten. The plugin only adds missing scripts.

Note: The plugin preserves your composer.json formatting (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs) when adding scripts. Your original indentation style is maintained.

Note: The plugin preserves the original order of your existing scripts. New scripts are added at the beginning of the scripts section, so your preferred organization is maintained.

Manual Scripts (Optional)

If you prefer different script names or commands, you can manually add them to your composer.json:

Using the Scripts

After installation, you can run the automatically installed scripts:

Note: The scripts above are automatically added by the plugin. If you prefer different script names or commands, you can manually add them to your composer.json (see "Manual Scripts" section above).

Customization

All customizations go in the *.custom.php files. These files are never overwritten.

Rector Customization

Edit .rector.custom.php:

PHP-CS-Fixer Customization

Edit .php-cs-fixer.custom.php:

Project Custom Fixers:

You can add your own project-specific custom fixers by adding them to the project_custom_fixers array:

Your project custom fixers will be automatically registered alongside PHP Quality Tools fixers. This allows you to extend functionality with project-specific code style rules.

Twig-CS-Fixer Customization

Edit .twig-cs-fixer.custom.php:

Required Dependencies

This package provides configurations and can automatically install the required tools during installation.

Updating

When you update this package:

Important: Existing files are never overwritten. The plugin only copies a template when the target file is absent. To replace a main config with a fresh template from the package, remove that file and run composer install or composer update:

Template Engines Without Dedicated Formatters

Note: PHP native template files can be formatted using PHP-CS-Fixer, but template-specific directives and syntax may require manual review.

Future Template Formatter Support

The following template formatters are planned for future releases:

Contributing: If you know of formatters for these template engines or would like to contribute support, please open an issue or pull request on GitHub.

Custom Rules

PHP Quality Tools includes several custom rules for both Rector and PHP-CS-Fixer to improve code quality and formatting.

Included Custom Rules

Rector Rules:

PHP-CS-Fixer Fixers:

See docs/CUSTOM_RULES.md for details on how to use these rules and create your own.

Note: Custom Rector rules require an additional dependency: symplify/rule-doc-generator-contracts. Install it with:

If you use the custom rules without this dependency, you'll see an informative message indicating what's missing.
