Rule class_keyword¶
Converts FQCN strings to *::class keywords.
Description¶
This rule does not have an understanding of whether a class exists in the scope of the codebase or not, relying on run-time and autoloaded classes to determine it, which makes the rule useless when running on a single file out of codebase context.
Warning¶
This rule is experimental¶
Rule is not covered with backward compatibility promise, use it at your own risk. Rule’s behaviour may be changed at any point, including rule’s name; its options’ names, availability and allowed values; its default configuration. Rule may be even removed without prior notice. Feel free to provide feedback and help with determining final state of the rule.
Using this rule is risky¶
Do not use it, unless you know what you are doing.
