PrettyPHP is an opinionated code formatter for PHP

PrettyPHP is an opinionated code formatter that is a fast, deterministic code formatter for PHP, written in PHP. It has sensible defaults and runs without configuration.

$ pretty-php app
pretty-php v0.4.94 (2bf41b46) PHP 8.4.2
- Replacing app/Http/Controllers/Controller.php
✔ Replaced 1 of 3 files successfully in 0.037s (10.092MiB memory used)

This CLI also has a VS Code extension to format your files on save.

I am not encouraging you to ditch Laravel Pint to handle formatting in your Laravel projects. However, this project, being a PHP formatter, indicates a healthy PHP ecosystem that is growing with new tools. I like that pretty-php tool is opinionated, and using it to format your projects will ensure consistent formatting across all files you edit. It also comes with default code styles for Symfony, Drupal, Laravel, and WordPress.
