Advanced Rector Shenanigans
Speaker: Chris Abbey
Advanced Rector Shenanigans

Level: Advanced
Length: Standard (50 minutes)

Description:
In this session we will explore the development of a custom Rector rule for migrating hundreds of classes off of a legacy framework and onto a set of more modern compositional traits. Using traits we will upend the class inheritance tree, and put guardrails in to contain the chaos. A basic understanding of Rector would help you get the most out of this, but is probably not required, @see Intro to Automated Refactoring with RectorPHP for that.
