Coding Standard Laravel Package

• Allow PHP_CodeSniffer version 4.

• Use Generic.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing instead of the deprecated Squiz.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing.

• Switch from SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.UnionTypeHintFormat to SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.DNFTypeHintFormat.
• Bump minimum required version of slevomat/coding-standard to ^8.16.0.

• Set minimum PHP version to 8.1.

Changed

• Bump phpcsstandards/phpcsextra and dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer to their stable 1.0 releases.

Fixed

• Allow comments to run longer than 120 characters.

Fixed

• Allow doc comments without variable names above return statements.

Fixed

• Ignore the IncorrectWhitespaceBeforeDeclare error emitted by the SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.DeclareStrictTypes sniff.

  In my personal projects, I usually have 2 newlines before the declare statement. One before the file header comment and one after. However, in tests, I have no file header comment, so there is only 1 newline before the declare statement. Since I like my tests to follow the same coding standard as the rest of my source, it is easiest to ignore this error.

Added

• Check format of union type hints on PHP 8, using SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.UnionTypeHintFormat.

Changed

• Upgrade to slevomat/coding-standard version 7.

  This may require downstream changes, since some Slevomat sniffs have BC breaks. This is why ramsey/coding-standard is bumping to version 2.0.0 for this change.

  See the Slevomat changelog for 7.0.0 for details.

Added

• Enforce the use of strict comparisons.
• Check for and disallow duplicate spaces everywhere.

Added

• Revised rules for absolute class name references

Fixed

• Use correct command prefixes

Fixed

• Explicitly require PHPCSUtils to avoid setting minimum-stability

Changed

• Package name is now "ramsey/coding-standard"

This is technically a BC break, so I am sorry, but since this package is brand new and so few have downloaded to date, I decided to go ahead and make this change in the 1.x series.

Fixed

• Allow bin dir in dist packages, avoiding Composer warnings

Fixed

• Move ext-dom to require-dev

Fixed

• Remove unnecessary (and unused) tools, commands, and code

Added

• Initial release of Ramsey coding standard
