Php-cs-fixer: [Announcement] Online fixers viewer and configurator

[mlocati]

@keradus contacted me after a post of mine, so I thought to post here to involve other people that may be interested too.

Thanks to #2500, we now have the possibility to get detailed info about the fixers via PHP code, so I thought it would be nice to have an online tool to help us all to better use/understand PHP-CS-Fixer.

That's why I created PHP-CS-Fixer Configurator (source code here).

It allows you to:

• view all the fixers in a clean (and pretty?) way
• search fixers by name/description/preset
• view details about every fixer (including options and examples)
• generate configurations in PHP code (ready to be saved as a .php_cs/.php_cs.dist file) and in JSON format
• load configurations defined in JSON format (useful in collaborative environments)

Thanks @mlocati for sharing, look nice!

I think that could be a nice thing add a reference to this in the README file of this repo, so everyone that read the initial docs could know about this

Thanks @mlocati for sharing this, looks awesome!

I'm closing this issue as it's neither a feature request nor a bug report. Feel free to continue the discussion if you want to share more informations or news about it :)

I just updated https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator

• it's now possible to now choose the PHP-CS-Fixer version you prefer (from 2.3.0 to 2.5.0)
• a help dialog is now available, showing what the configurator can do both in View Mode and in Configuration Mode

[keradus]

2.2 is LTS, it could be nice to support it as well

[SpacePossum]

looking better every time, nice update @mlocati :+1:

@keradus :+1: Done

[keradus]

@mlocati IMO you could drop all the patch versions except latest ones.
the only difference between patch-releases of same minor would be a typo fixes and so

[mlocati]

@keradus thanks for the hint! Done

[mlocati]

Just a site note: I added a new feature to https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator
In the versions dropdown menu you can now find a new "Compare versions" item, which displays the changes between PHP-CS-Fixer versions.

doesn't look to be fully proper.
eg

The commentType option has been removed

it was not. it was only deprecated

The configurator didn't handle option aliases. This is now fixed.
Thanks for the tip!

@keradus what about adding a link to https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator/ to the PHP-CS-Fixer README.rst file?

[mlocati]

Just an update about https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator: it now displays the history of a fixer.
See for example the history of final_internal_class:
