Why spend time doing manual tasks that can be automated? Instead, save time by using tools like Rector.

I like framework-agnostic tools.
|
|
|
|
I like to reuse knowledge and tools across projects, whether I'm working with Drupal, Symfony, Laravel or Sculpin.
|
|
|
|
Rector is one of those tools.
|
|
|
|
[Yesterday] I said I use it to create automatic updates to my Drupal module code, but it can be used for other PHP projects, too.
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading a PHP library and want to use promoted constructor properties, for example, Rector can do that for you - and a lot more.
|
|
|
|
You define which rules or presets you want to use, run Rector on the code, and it will make those changes.
|
|
|
|
Having Rector do this work leaves me free to stay focused on other tasks.
