Fig Standards
This project establishes a collection of interoperability standards for the PHP ecosystem. It defines common technical specifications to ensure that separate software projects and libraries can work together without compatibility issues.
The standards cover a variety of core domains, including specifications for class autoloading through namespace-to-path mapping, shared coding style guides for codebase uniformity, and common component interfaces for services such as logging and caching. It also defines shared specifications for network communication to ensure consistent interactions between different clients and servers.
These standards are developed through a formal proposal workflow involving community review and consensus to move technical recommendations to approved status.
Features
- Interoperability Standards - Establishes common technical specifications so that separate software projects and libraries can work together without compatibility issues.
- Autoloading Standards - Maps namespaces to file paths using a consistent method so classes load automatically during execution.
- Interoperability - Defines common method signatures and class types that allow disparate libraries to communicate without direct dependencies.
- Autoloading Implementations - Implements mapping of namespaces to file paths so classes load automatically during execution across libraries.
- Autoloading Specifications - Provides the standard for mapping namespaces to file paths so classes load automatically during execution.
- Code Style Guides - Enforces basic and extended style guides to maintain codebase uniformity across diverse project environments.
- Coding Standards - Organizes coding style rules into basic and extended tiers to balance strict uniformity with project flexibility.
- Coding Standards - Applies consistent formatting and writing rules to ensure PHP code remains readable and uniform across projects.
- Specification-Driven Development Frameworks - Establishes technical requirements and constraints that third-party implementers must follow to ensure cross-project compatibility.
- Namespace Mappings - Standardizes how class names translate to file system locations to enable automatic loading of source files.
- PHP Interface Standards - Defines common interfaces for logging and caching to ensure different PHP libraries can communicate and integrate seamlessly.
- Logging Interfaces - Defines common interfaces for services such as logging and caching to ensure seamless integration between libraries.
- PHP Standard Implementations - Establishes common technical specifications so that separate PHP software projects and libraries can work together without compatibility issues.
- Network Communication Specifications - Defines shared specifications for messages and handlers to ensure consistent communication across different network clients and servers.
- HTTP Interaction Standards - Defines shared specifications for messages and handlers to ensure consistent communication across different network clients and servers.
- Proposal Submission Workflows - Provides a structured cycle of community review and consensus for moving technical specifications from proposal to approved status.
- Coding Standard - Listed in the “Coding Standard” section of the Awesome Laravel Education awesome list.
