Php-cs-fixer: New Fixer Idea: Equalize Spaces

[mdavis1982]

I couldn't find a fixer to convert:

$foo=$bar;

into:

$foo = $bar;

It's entirely possible I'm missing something and the option is there, but I tried a bunch of things and couldn't find one to do this. Is it possible? And, if not, could this be added?

i.e. binary_operator_spaces will do this, however you need the version that is currently in master and will be part of the upcoming 2.7 release. Just a little bit more waiting :)

Great, thanks 👍

Which one of the new options specifies that behaviour?

[SpacePossum]

It will be the default, however you can also defined it explicit like;

'binary_operator_spaces' => [
   'default' => null, // do not fix binary operators unless listed below;
   'operators' => [
        '=' => 'single_space', // do not align `=`, just make sure there is a single space before and after it
    ]
]
