This project is a PHP clean code guide and software architecture reference. It provides a set of standards, naming conventions, and design patterns intended to improve the long-term maintainability and readability of PHP codebases.
The guide emphasizes a structured approach to refactoring and system design, focusing on the application of SOLID principles to reduce coupling and increase extensibility. It advocates for object-oriented design through the use of composition over inheritance, the use of final classes to prevent unexpected overrides, and the implementation of strict type declarations to eliminate bugs associated with dynamic typing.
The framework covers broader capability areas including software quality and class design. It provides techniques for simplifying control flow through early returns, managing side effects via dedicated service layers, and enhancing readability by standardizing naming conventions and removing redundant logic.
