Rector for TYPO3

Rector for TYPO3

This project lets you apply instant upgrades and refactoring to your TYPO3 Website and extension code, making it easier to migrate between TYPO3 releases and keeping your code free from deprecation.

It extends the Rector project, which aims to provide instant upgrades and refactoring for any PHP code (5.3+).

Warning

❗ Never run this tool on production! Always run it on development environment where code is under version control (e.g. git). Review and test changes before releasing to production. Code migrations could potentionally break your website!

Known Drawbacks

How to Apply Coding Standards?

Rector uses nikic/php-parser, built on technology called an abstract syntax tree (AST). An AST doesn't know about spaces and when written to a file it produces poorly formatted code in both PHP and docblock annotations. That's why your project needs to have a coding standard tool and a set of formatting rules, so it can make Rector's output code nice and shiny again.

We're using ECS with this setup.
