About the Book
Rector is an extremely powerful tool that can instantly improve the code quality of your PHP projects. It can be used to safely migrate projects from PHP 5.6 to PHP 8. It can help you establish a standard of robust programming practices in your project. And it can save you a lot of time spent on reviewing pull requests.
In this book, seasoned developers Matthias Noback and Tomáš Votruba give you all the information you need to become a Rector power user. You'll learn:
- How to make Rector part of your daily development workflow
- How to create Rector rules that replace repetitive manual refactoring work
- How to automate even more with Rector by adding it to your project's build process
Tomáš, being the founding father and core maintainer of the Rector project, will shine his light on:
- What's the place of Rector in the larger ecosystem of PHP tools for code quality assurance?
- What role will Rector fulfill in the future?
Matthias, who has a strong focus on automated testing, will cover:
- The concepts behind Rector: tokenizing, parsing, and manipulating PHP AST nodes

About the Authors
Matthias Noback has been building web applications since 2003. He is the author of Principles of Package Design and Object Design Style Guide and Advanced Web Application Architecture. He is a regular blogger, public speaker and trainer.
Tomas loves to combine open-source and innovations... yet he's super lazy. Traumatized in childhood by doing repeated tasks as a punishment by his father (whom he loves), he's unable to do anything twice without deep physical pain. That's why he always spends dozens of hours to automate problems that would take and hour or two to do manually.
This extreme lazyness created the Rector ecosystem. A tool that automatically upgrades and refactores PHP, so you can have a coffee instead while your code is upgraded from PHP 5.3 to PHP 8.1.
