Coding Standard Laravel Package

• Replace PSR12.Files.FileHeader.SpacingAfterBlock with all the new modular rules, previously, just some were excluded (#31)

Support and requires PHP_CodeSniffer 4.0 (#29, #30)

• Require slevomat/coding-standard that uses PHPCS 4.0
• Replace PSR12.Files.FileHeader.SpacingAfterBlock with the new modular rules
  • See https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/c9c4d0587fbfbd1c96d9847290025a0e96c966b9 and the upgrade guide.
• Require PHP 7.4, the same as PHPCS now requires

• Require recent-ish slevomat/coding-standard (#27)

Checks for missing constant typehints (#26) docs

• Allow tabs in nowdoc and heredoc (#25)

• Bump actions/checkout from 3 to 4 (#23)

Report useless:

• parentheses (but not when in a complex ternary conditions)
• semicolons
• constant type hints

New rules:

• Checks incorrect annotation names
• Report [@deprecated](https://github.com/deprecated) annotations without description
• Reports empty comments
• Reports documentation comments containing only [@inheritDoc](https://github.com/inheritDoc) annotation

• Disallow duplicate whitespaces (#18)

Internal changes:

• Check rules are sorted (#19)
• Export-ignore files that are not needed (#20)

• Requires slevomat/coding-standard 8.9+
• Added new rules:
  • Disallow variable variables (#14)
  • Disallow trailing multiline ternary operator (#15)
  • Yoda comparison disallow you must (#16)
• XML-lint the rules file (#17)

• If running composer require without the --dev option, prompt users if they would like to add these packages to require-dev instead of require (#13)

See docs for SlevomatCodingStandard.Classes.BackedEnumTypeSpacing sniff (#12)

Requires slevomat/coding-standard 8.1 (#11)

• Short arrays [] required (#8)
• Constructor property promotion required (#7), code targeting PHP 7.x can exclude the rule, see the PR
• Require slevomat/coding-standard 8.0 for the fullestest PHP 8.1 support (#6)
• enum cases must be below use Traits and above constants in a class (#9), slevomat/coding-standard requires it to be specified

Require latest code sniffer and Slevomat's coding standard to fully support PHP 8.1

Exclude PSR12.Classes.OpeningBraceSpace.Found (#5) because an opening brace is required before first method and the new rule contradicts the existing one.

Add trailing comma rules requiring a trailing comma in the following situations:

• SlevomatCodingStandard.Arrays.TrailingArrayComma This sniff enforces trailing commas in multi-line arrays and requires short array syntax [].

• SlevomatCodingStandard.Functions.RequireTrailingCommaInCall This sniff enforces trailing commas in multi-line calls.

• SlevomatCodingStandard.Functions.RequireTrailingCommaInDeclaration This sniff enforces trailing commas in multi-line declarations.

Because types are not specified in docblocks but directly in code, which is even more true with PHP 8 and union types.

Because

class Waldo
{

    use Something;

    use SomethingElse;

    private Foo $foo;
    private Bar $bar;

}

looks better when written like

class Waldo
{

    use Something;
    use SomethingElse;

    private Foo $foo;
    private Bar $bar;

}

Use int instead of integer and bool instead of boolean

• TraitUseDeclaration Prohibits multiple traits separated by commas in one use statement.

• UnusedUses Looks for unused imports from other namespaces.

• UselessAlias Looks for use alias that is same as unqualified name.

slevomat/coding-standard 7.0.0 renames some DeclareStrictTypes options and changes their meaning: previously newlines were counted, now just lines are counted. Where there was one newline between the opening tag and the declare statement, there's now no line (but still one newline).

Add rule to check order of classes structure, i.e. use first, then constants, properties, abstract methods, constructor, other methods.

• Sort uses (thanks @ruudk)

Can now be used for PHP 8 projects too (#1, thanks @xificurk)
