setting up few basic rules
* travis: add --fix option to make sure it works (experimental) * [examples+cs] add elements visibility, lowercase elements and method arguments checker * [cs] add various checkers, link topics to docs to make it easy to find origin * [cs] drop consecutive lines checker, breaks 2 lines before class * [cs] disable braces fixer, buggy
Update ValidClass.php
This release's headliner is a new OptimizeGlobalCallsSniff that automatically generates grouped `use function` / `use const` statements for global calls — eliminating runtime namespace fallback overhead and unlocking PHP compiler optimizations. Alongside it, presets can now be fixer-only or sniffer-only without causing errors. `<?php declare(strict_types=1);` is now allowed on the opening line.

This PR suggests changing the Composer package type to enable automatic standard registration via the PHPCSStandards Composer installer plugin.
Problem/Motivation
Composer allows declaring a package's type. When no type is declared, the default is "library".
There is a Composer plugin that can install custom PHP_CodeSniffer standards: https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/composer-installer
This plugin is part of the PHPCSStandards organisation, which is the new official home of PHP_CodeSniffer.
For this installer to work, the package type needs to be set to
phpcodesniffer-standard.There are already over 470 packages that use this type. As a side benefit, using this type will allow end-users to more easily find other external PHP_CodeSniffer standards that may be interesting to them when searching on Packagist.
Proposed changes
Add
"type": "phpcodesniffer-standard"tocomposer.json.This will in no way change the existing behavior of this package for users that do not include the Composer plugin mentioned above in their projects'
composer.json.
