Writing custom PHPStan rules for Drupal projects
Today, I watched a video recording of a session by Ondřej Mirtes - the creator of PHPStan - on writing custom rules for PHPStan.
After explaining how to write them, he showed some examples of custom rules - one of which was ensuring a Person class couldn't be created outside of a PersonRepository class.
This seemed straightforward so I thought about how I could do something similar within my Drupal automated testing email course to check my Drupal code.
Similar to Ondřej's example, I wondered if I could enforce that no post nodes should be created outside of the PostBuilder class by searching for any code like Node::create(['type' => 'post']).
I was able to get a version working quickly and have posted it as a gist.
I'm sure some improvements can be made, but it was a successful experiment and something I can see me using more in the future.
