Formatting

This project uses PHP CS Fixer to ensure consistent code style. The formatting rules are defined in the .php-cs-fixer.php file at the project root.

To automatically format your code, run:

composer format

If you are using an unsupported version of PHP, you may need to bypass the version check:

Powershell: $env:PHP_CS_FIXER_IGNORE_ENV=1; composer format | Bash: PHP_CS_FIXER_IGNORE_ENV=1 composer format
