Laravel Fixer
The Laravel Fixer scans your Laravel application and makes changes and recommendations to help you follow the Laravel Way.
What is the Laravel Way? Well, it's a collection of practices outlined in the Laravel docs, commonly adopted by the Laravel community, and derived from analytics on over 50,000 Laravel projects.
The goal is to ensure you're crafting your Laravel application to take full advantage of Laravel's features while maintaining an application that's easy to upgrade.
