Phpstan Config Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Standardizes static analysis across multiple PHP projects to eliminate inconsistent quality checks and reduce technical debt.
• Eliminates manual configuration duplication, enabling teams to focus on development rather than maintaining repetitive PHPStan setups.
• Supports a "buy vs build" decision by providing a pre-vetted baseline configuration, saving engineering resources versus creating in-house solutions.
• Accelerates new project onboarding with ready-to-use quality gates, reducing time-to-first-deployment for new repositories.
• Enables scalable quality governance as the organization grows, ensuring all codebases adhere to unified standards without centralized oversight.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when managing 3+ PHP projects requiring consistent static analysis rules and minimal configuration overhead.
• Ideal for teams already using PHPStan who need a standardized baseline with easy per-project customization.
• Use when prioritizing rapid deployment of code quality checks for new projects without manual setup.
• Avoid if: projects have highly specialized analysis needs incompatible with the baseline rules (despite extensibility), the organization uses an alternative static analysis tool (e.g., Psalm), or only 1–2 projects exist where manual config maintenance is trivial. Also skip if GPL-3.0 licensing conflicts with organizational policies.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

This package delivers immediate ROI by eliminating redundant PHPStan configuration work across projects. Executives gain consistent code quality that reduces production incidents and maintenance costs, while engineers save hours on setup and benefit from standardized, extensible rules that enforce best practices without friction—all integrated via Composer in minutes.
