Deptrac

Deptrac is a static code analysis tool for PHP that helps you communicate, visualize and enforce architectural decisions in your projects. You can freely define your architectural layers over classes and which rules should apply to them.

For example, you can use Deptrac to ensure that bundles/modules/extensions in your project are truly independent of each other to make them easier to reuse.

Deptrac can be used in a CI pipeline to make sure a pull request does not violate any of the architectural rules you defined. With the optional Graphviz or Mermaidjs formatter you can visualize your layers, rules and violations.

Documentation

You can find the documentation in the /docs directory or visit the doc page: https://qossmic.github.io/deptrac

Getting Started

You can install Deptrac via Composer. We recommend using the deptrac package for this:

composer require --dev qossmic/deptrac

Once you have downloaded/installed deptrac, you will need to create a configuration file, where you define your layers and communication ruleset. This configuration file is written in YAML or php and, by default, is stored with the name deptrac.yaml in your project's root directory.

Deptrac can generate a template for you, using the init command.

vendor/bin/deptrac init

When you have this file, you can analyse your code by running the analyse command:

vendor/bin/deptrac

# which is equivalent to
vendor/bin/deptrac analyse --config-file=deptrac.yaml

In order to run Deptrac you need at least PHP 8.1.

You can analyse projects that require an older PHP version as long as nikic/php-parser can parse it.
