I can't imagine my life without PHP CodeStyle Fixer and here is why.

This thing automatically makes your code PSR-1 & PSR-2 compatible, cleans spaces, makes arrays shorter ([] instead of array()) and makes code written by different developers looks similar. Further reading will be easier and it's lowering CTO butthurt level about exess spaces before the if.

This tool has a plugin for every popular IDE so you can make code looks perfect just by pressing the hotkey. Or even on every save. But it's too much. Just by hotkey is OK.

Here is our config which are we using. You could use it but don't forget to read the docs.

Not everybody knows that Composer has a lot of plugins which makes our life easier. Here are some of my favorites.

• Versions Check — shows outdated packages.
• Changelogs — show changelog links of updated packages.
• Prestissimo — parallel packages loading.

More you can find in Awesome Composer list.

​​JSON5 is starting to take off.

It is a new JSON extension format making it more convenient to write by hands.

In JSON5 you can:

• use single quotes,
• write keys without quotes at all,
• add a trailing comma everywhere,
and many more.
