README
Shared coding-standard, static-analysis, test and CI configuration for the
magicsunday/* projects. One source of truth for the PHP and JS/TS toolchain so
the individual repositories stop carrying near-identical config copies that drift.
The PHP configs are consumed through Composer (Packagist). The Biome/TypeScript
configs are consumed as a GitHub git dependency — the package is never published
to the npm registry, exactly like webtrees-chart-lib.
Installation
composer require --dev magicsunday/coding-standard
This single dev dependency pulls in the whole PHP toolchain transitively —
php-cs-fixer, PHPStan and its rule packs, Rector, phplint, phpat and PHPUnit
(^12.0 || ^13.0). A consumer on the base tier therefore declares nothing
else in require-dev; the runner and every analysis tool are version-pinned
here, in one place, and bumped once for all repositories. The opt-in strict
PHPStan tier (phpstan/strict.neon) and Infection are the exception — they need
the extra packages listed under suggest, added directly by the repositories
that adopt them.
For the JS/TS configs, add a GitHub git dependency (no npm-registry account needed —
the same mechanism webtrees-chart-lib uses):
npm install --save-dev github:magicsunday/coding-standard#1.6.1
which records in package.json:
{
"devDependencies": {
"@magicsunday/coding-standard": "github:magicsunday/coding-standard#1.6.1"
}
}
Layout
The directory a file lives in states how it is meant to be consumed:
| Location | Kind | How a consumer uses it |
|---|---|---|
php-cs-fixer/, phpstan/, rector/, biome/, tsconfig/ |
importable | referenced straight out of vendor/ or node_modules/ — includes:, require, extends |
templates/ |
copy-and-adapt | copied into the consumer's own repository; these formats (PHPUnit, phplint, Infection, jscpd, editorconfig) cannot be imported, their tools expect the file at the repo root |
| repository root | this package's own dev config | .phplint.yml, .github/, tests/ — all export-ignored, so a consumer never receives them. The package lints itself with its own template. |
PHP configs
php-cs-fixer — php-cs-fixer/base.php
A factory that returns a configured PhpCsFixer\Config; the consumer supplies its
own file header and finder.
// .php-cs-fixer.dist.php $factory = require __DIR__ . '/vendor/magicsunday/coding-standard/php-cs-fixer/base.php'; return $factory(<<<EOF This file is part of the package magicsunday/<repo>. For the full copyright and license information, please read the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code. EOF) ->setCacheFile(__DIR__ . '/.build/cache/.php-cs-fixer.cache') ->setFinder( PhpCsFixer\Finder::create() ->exclude(['.build', 'node_modules']) ->in([__DIR__ . '/src/', __DIR__ . '/tests/']) );
A repository that lints PHTML views appends ->name('*.php')->name('*.phtml') to
its finder.
PHPStan — phpstan/base.neon, phpstan/strict.neon
base.neon sets level: max, treatPhpDocTypesAsCertain: false, and pulls in the
rule extensions (phpstan-strict-rules, deprecation-rules, phpstan-phpunit, phpat)
through explicit relative includes. That is deliberate: phpstan/extension-installer
does not reach Rector's bundled PHPStan, so a base relying on it makes rector.php's
phpstanConfig fail on an unknown parameter.
# phpstan.neon includes: - vendor/magicsunday/coding-standard/phpstan/base.neon parameters: phpVersion: min: 80300 max: 80500 paths: - src - tests services: - class: Vendor\Namespace\Test\Architecture\ArchitectureTest tags: - phpat.test
State phpVersion as a min/max range whenever the repository supports a
span of PHP versions: set min to that repository's own supported floor and
max to its ceiling. PHPStan then analyses across the whole span — it flags both
use of a feature newer than the floor and a symbol deprecated at the ceiling.
The 80300/80500 above are only an example (the chart modules' 8.3 - 8.5
support window); each repository substitutes its own bounds. A single value
(phpVersion: 80300) only analyses "as if on 8.3" and silently misses a
deprecation introduced at a higher version, so a repository pinned to a single
PHP version — and only then — keeps the scalar form.
The two tiers
base.neon is the floor — every repository runs it, no exceptions.
strict.neon (which includes base.neon) is the target — the tier every
repository is expected to reach, not a permanent alternative. It adds the
shipmonk/symplify rule packs and the extra-strict report parameters. The reason it
is staged rather than folded into the base is cost, not preference: turning it on
surfaces real findings that need triaging per repository, so forcing it into the
base would block every adoption on an unrelated backlog.
To keep that staging from becoming drift, a repository that runs only base.neon
carries an open issue for reaching strict.neon. The gap stays visible and
terminated instead of quietly permanent.
composer require --dev shipmonk/phpstan-rules symplify/phpstan-rules
Adopt via the adopt-strict-phpstan-ruleset workflow, triaging each finding.
Rector — rector/base.php
The factory takes the target PHP floor as its second argument and both sets it on
the config and applies the matching version level set (80300 → UP_TO_PHP_83,
… 80600 → UP_TO_PHP_86), so a repository above 8.3 gets that version's
modernizations rather than being pinned to 8.3. State the floor once — the
consumer no longer calls phpVersion() itself.
// rector.php use Rector\Config\RectorConfig; return static function (RectorConfig $config): void { $config->paths([__DIR__ . '/src/', __DIR__ . '/tests/']); $config->phpstanConfig(__DIR__ . '/phpstan.neon'); (require __DIR__ . '/vendor/magicsunday/coding-standard/rector/base.php')($config, 80300); };
Deptrac — architecture layers — deptrac/layers.yaml
The canonical layered architecture every module is expected to follow, enforced
by Deptrac (pulled in by this package's
require, so a consumer declares nothing extra). One shared ruleset lives here;
each consumer copies templates/deptrac.dist.yaml to deptrac.yaml, which
imports this file and only declares its own paths.
Layers are matched by namespace segment through a directory collector
(.*/Repository/.*, …), not by the repository root, so the same ruleset ports
across every module without renaming anything — a class under <any>/Repository/
lands in the Repository layer wherever the module lives. A directory collector
matches only the analysed src files, so a referenced third-party class (which
Deptrac never analyses and has no path for) falls to uncovered naturally — the
reason the collector is path-based and not a classNameRegex, which would also
match vendor FQCNs carrying a canonical segment (Illuminate\Support\…) and file
them into a layer. The canonical layers are Enum, Model, Contract,
Configuration, Support, Repository, Adapter, Service, Facade and Module.
# deptrac.yaml imports: - vendor/magicsunday/coding-standard/deptrac/layers.yaml deptrac: paths: - src
Wire it as a consumer ci:test:php:deptrac script
(["deptrac analyse --no-progress"]), rolled out the same script-first way. The
ruleset is deliberately permissive at this stage — it forbids only the
uncontroversial upward edges (a leaf depending on a higher layer, anything
depending on the composition root), and keeps the domain core (Enum/Model/
Contract/Configuration) mutually permissive to avoid a false Model↔Contract
cycle. Tighten individual edges per module only after a deptrac analyse dry-run
proves the stricter edge is violation-free. Dependencies on classes outside every
layer (the framework, webtrees core) are reported as "uncovered" but do not fail
the run; --fail-on-uncovered is left off because every external dependency is
uncovered.
This supersedes the older per-repo phpat layer rules and the
check-phpat-subjects.php subject-liveness guard below; the guard stays until
every consumer has migrated its layer rules to Deptrac.
Templates (copy-and-adapt)
Files under templates/ are not importable — copy them into the consumer and
adjust the paths. The check-consumer-config.php lockstep gate below keeps them
from drifting from this package.
| Template | Copy to | Notes |
|---|---|---|
templates/phpunit.xml.dist |
phpunit.xml.dist |
strict flag set incl. requireCoverageMetadata; PHPUnit itself is provided by the package require, so it stays out of the consumer's require-dev |
templates/infection.json5 |
infection.json5 |
timeoutsAsEscaped: true; set the MSI floor per repo |
templates/editorconfig |
.editorconfig |
4-space, tab for Makefiles |
templates/gitattributes |
.gitattributes |
export-ignore dist hygiene |
templates/phplint.yml |
.phplint.yml |
the ci:test:php:lint gate the reusable workflow invokes — path-driven, never a hand-kept file list |
templates/jscpd.json |
.jscpd.json |
zero-tolerance copy-paste gate |
templates/ArchitectureTest.php |
tests/Architecture/ArchitectureTest.php |
phpat layering + Abstract* naming + beFinal |
templates/deptrac.dist.yaml |
deptrac.yaml |
imports the shared deptrac/layers.yaml + declares paths; see the Deptrac section above |
Lockstep gate — bin/check-consumer-config.php
The importable configs are consumed by reference, so their rule content cannot
drift. The copy-and-adapt templates have no include-from-vendor mechanism, so each
consumer keeps a physical copy — and that copy is where the house standard silently
drifts loose (a phpunit.xml that quietly drops requireCoverageMetadata, a jscpd
config left on the removed v4 reporter name). This gate asserts the stable region
of each copy — the strict flags and the uniform src/tests layout every module
shares — while ignoring the genuinely per-repo parts (the vendor-dir-dependent path
prefixes, the per-repo format/path/ignore lists). It is assertion-based, not a
byte-diff, so a consumer that legitimately scans an extra JS directory is not flagged,
but a loosened strictness flag is.
The package require places it on the consumer's bin path, so wire it as a
ci:test:php:templates script (vendor-dir-independent):
// consumer composer.json "scripts": { "ci:test:php:templates": ["check-consumer-config.php ."] }
Add that step to the reusable php-quality workflow so it gates in CI (see AGENTS —
every consumer needs the script before the shared step is added, or the step reds the
repos that lack it). A missing optional file (a PHP-only repo has no .jscpd.json) is
skipped; the strict PHPUnit config is required — the gate accepts it as either
phpunit.xml or phpunit.xml.dist.
phpat subject-liveness guard — bin/check-phpat-subjects.php
phpat rules run inside PHPStan, and a rule whose subject matches nothing enforces
nothing while looking active — both PHPStan and PHPUnit stay green. This bit a chart
module once: a rule whose subject was a Traits namespace was a silent no-op, because
phpat resolves a subject through PHPStan's InClassNode, which never fires for a trait.
This guard parses a consumer's ArchitectureTest, extracts each #[TestRule] method's
subject selector, and asserts it matches at least one real class in src/:
Selector::inNamespace(NS) needs a non-trait class in NS (a trait-only namespace, the
manifested bug, reds here); Selector::classname(FQCN) needs that class to exist (a
renamed or mistyped target reds); Selector::isAbstract() is a conditional naming guard
that legitimately matches nothing until an abstract class is added, so it is not
liveness-checked. It is a static check — it does not run PHPStan — and fails closed:
every rule method must yield a classifiable subject. A repo with no ArchitectureTest is
skipped. Wire it as a consumer ci:test:php:phpat-subjects script
(["check-phpat-subjects.php ."]), rolled out the same script-first way.
