Laminas Coding Standard Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Supports standardizing code across multiple Laminas/ZF projects and teams without manual PHPCS configuration
• Enables "build vs. buy" decisions by leveraging a maintained standard instead of reinventing custom rules
• Accelerates onboarding for new engineers by enforcing consistent style and modern PHP practices (e.g., strict types, type declarations)
• Reduces technical debt by catching style inconsistencies and quality issues early in CI pipelines
• Aligns with roadmap goals for scalable code quality in multi-repo environments (e.g., microservices, shared libraries)

When to Consider This Package

Adopt when your organization uses Laminas/ZF components and needs PSR-compliant standards out-of-the-box, especially for teams scaling across repositories or lacking bandwidth to maintain custom PHPCS rules. Avoid if using non-Laminas frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Symfony), requiring highly custom sniffs beyond the provided set, or for small projects where manual code reviews suffice.
