declare(strict_types=1), typed properties, union types, enums, readonly classes. - Formatting: PSR-12 via a fixer (e.g., PHP_CodeSniffer/phpcbf or php-cs-fixer). Static analysis: a strict analyzer (e.g., PHPStan at max level or Psalm).
- Testing: PHPUnit with
@dataProvider, 80%+ coverage. - Error handling: specific exceptions extending
RuntimeException, constructor promotion for value objects. - First-class callable syntax (
$fn = strlen(...)) for callbacks. Arrow functions (fn() =>) for simple closures. - Dependencies: Composer with
composer.lockcommitted,^version constraints.composer auditin CI. - Security: require
roave/security-advisoriesas dev dependency to block vulnerable packages. - PSR-4 autoloading exclusively — no
require/includefor classes. - Intersection types for strict parameter contracts. Named arguments for readability.
- Anti-patterns:
