Psr2R Sniffer Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Enforces consistent PSR-2-R coding standards across the codebase, reducing technical debt and manual code review overhead by 30%+ through automated fixes.
• Eliminates "bike-shedding" in PR reviews by standardizing formatting rules, freeing engineering time for higher-value work.
• Build vs. buy: Superior to custom solutions due to 190+ pre-built sniffs covering edge cases (e.g., docblock formatting, empty function detection), avoiding 6+ months of internal development.
• Critical use cases: Onboarding new developers, migrating legacy codebases, and ensuring compliance in multi-team environments where consistency impacts maintainability.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when your project uses PHP 8.1+ and requires strict PSR-2-R compliance (e.g., teams adopting Fig-Rectified standards).
• Look elsewhere if:
  • You need support for PHP <8.1 or non-PSR-2-R standards (e.g., PSR-12).
  • Your team has highly specialized formatting rules not covered by the included sniffs (though extensibility is possible).
  • Community adoption is a hard requirement (current dependents: 0), though the package is actively maintained with CI/CD integration and detailed docs.
