README

Sometimes you are debugging and end up deploying with your code a dumpor a var_dump (if you're a Laravel dev, the infamous dd) and that could be annoying, so Dump Linter is a package that complements PHP-CS-Fixer, providing a rule to remove dump statements from the source code.

❗ IMPORTANT: the rule is considered risky by PHP-CS-Fixer metrics because technically dump/var_dump are not errors or bad writing, so be careful and use this rule if you're completely sure that you don't want them in the codebase.

REQUIREMENTS

PHP 8.1+

PHP-CS-Fixer 3

HOW TO INSTALL

To install the package, just use composer:

composer require tombenevides/dump-linter

HOW TO USE

Configuring PHP-CS-Fixer

After installing, you need to edit the .php-cs-fixer.dist.php file (or the file that you're chose), adding the custom rule using registerCustomFixers() function and then set the rule, as you can see below:

$config = new PhpCsFixer\Config();

return $config
    ->registerCustomFixers([
        new \Tombenevides\DumpLinter\DumpRemovalFixer()
    ])
    ->setRules([
        '@PSR12' => true,
        'Tombenevides/dump_removal' => true,
        ...
    ])

List of dump statements that will be removed: dump(),var_dump(),dd(),ray() and dumps().

More info or questions about PHP-CS-Fixer configuration file, just check this link.

Running the linter with custom rule

Since this is a risky rule, the default command php-cs-fixer fix -v will not work. Therefore, to allow the rule to make the expected changes, you need to give the linter permission to perform risky actions. You do this by adding the --allow-risky=yes flag.
