A brief description of code conventions this project follows.

• Follows SOLID principles
• Reduce lines of code where possible
• Reduce coupling (Law of Demeter)
• Favor latest stable PHP7 features
• Checks must pass (code style, static analysis & unit tests)

• Follows PSR-2 with Symfony Style
• use statements are declared in alpha-order
• use statements for MsgPhp\ namespace are grouped by deepest common namespace

<?php

// wrong

use MsgPhp\SomeB;
use MsgPhp\SomeA;
use MsgPhp\Some\SomeC;
use Other\SomeOtherB;
use Other\Some\SomeOtherC;
use Other\SomeOtherA;

// right

use MsgPhp\Some\SomeC;
use MsgPhp\{SomeA, SomeB};
use Other\Some\SomeOtherC;
use Other\SomeOtherA;
use Other\SomeOtherB;

• Follows PHPStan level max
• Exclude- and ignore-rules are discussed per case / topic

• Add comments if needed for either clarification or static analysis (might result in e.g. partial @param annotations)
• Inline @var annotations (/** @var Some $some*/)
• Interfaces must have a description with its purpose (at the class- as well as the method-level)
• No usage of @inheritdoc

• Intended object values are type hinted (@param object $value and @return object)

• All of the above, in general, apply to unit tests as well
