PHP Patterns

When to Activate

• Writing PHP 8.4+ source files (.php)
• Designing service/repository layers
• Reviewing PHP code for idiomatic patterns
• Working with Laravel or Symfony frameworks
• Replacing stringly-typed status comparisons with backed enums and match expressions for exhaustive, type-safe branching
• Modeling domain value objects as readonly classes to enforce immutability and input validation at construction time
• Structuring command/handler pairs to keep controllers thin and business logic independently testable
