Microscope is a Laravel development tool that includes smart checks to discover errors related to your applications. The highlight features according to the package's readme include:

  • It is created to be smarter than phpstorm and other IDEs in finding errors.
  • It is created to understand laravel run-time and magic.
  • It does not show you false errors, all the errors are really errors.
  • Even If you have written a lot of tests for your app, you may still need this.
  • It can refactor your code, by applying early returns automatically.
  • It is written from scratch to yield the maximum performance possible.

The package includes over seventeen different checks and a special command to run all of them. These commands will help you discover bugs and pitfalls in applications that might not have very many tests; however, this package can also be helpful for apps with many test cases.

This package contains some useful commands that will help you avoid common pitfalls, such as:

  • Avoid queries in Laravel Blade templates
  • Detects "bad practices", such as env() calls outside of configuration files
  • It can automatically flatten functions and loops by applying the early return rule
  • It can check your view() and View::make() calls and report if they refer to an incorrect/missing files
  • Validates event handler registration and gate policies/definitions
