🦕 Mastering Laravel Pint for Cleaner Code

🧼 Laravel Pint is a zero-configuration code style fixer for your Laravel projects, powered by PHP CS Fixer. It helps you maintain a consistent code style across your application effortlessly.

Key Features:
Uses Laravel’s default coding style (PSR-12 compatible)
No config needed (but customizable if desired)
Supports CI/CD integration

Quick Start:

composer require laravel/pint --dev
vendor/bin/pint

Add to Composer Scripts:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "pint"
}

🧠 Pro Tip: Run composer lint before every commit to avoid messy diffs later.

📅 What Are PHPStan Levels and Why Should You Care?


🔍 PHPStan is a powerful static analysis tool that finds bugs without running your code. But the real power lies in its levels—from 0 (basic) to 9 (strictest).

Why Levels Matter:

- Level 0: Great for onboarding legacy code
- Level 9: Enforces strict type safety, reducing runtime bugs

Quick Setup:

composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src

Set Level:

parameters:
level: 5

Start low, gradually go higher. It’s like PHP code yoga 🧘‍♂️

🐘 Composer – a must-have tool for PHP developers 🚀

How do you manage dependencies in your projects?
Composer does it for you: it pulls in libraries, resolves version conflicts, and generates an autoloader.

📌 In my new article, I cover:
• what Composer is and why you need it;
• its version history from 2011 to Composer 2.x;
• the most commonly used commands:
• composer install
• composer require vendor/package
• composer update
• composer dump-autoload
• composer outdated

💡 If you’re working with Laravel or Symfony, Composer is essential.
