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 formatter you can visualize your layers, rules and violations.
You can find the documentation in the /docs directory or visit the doc page: https://qossmic.github.io/deptrac
You will need to create a configuration file, where you define your layers and communication ruleset. Once you have done that, you can analyse your code by running deptrac:
php deptrac.phar
# which is equivalent to
php deptrac.phar analyse --config-file=deptrac.yamlDeptrac is in active development. We are looking for your suggestions and help to make it better.
