Composer Backslasher

Composer plugin that speeds up your application by adding backslashes to all PHP internal functions and constants in /vendor. Does not modify files of your application.

Installation

composer require dg/composer-backslasher

Then simply use composer update.

How it works?

It simply turns this code:

namespace A;

if (preg_match('/(foo)(bar)(baz)/', 'foobarbaz', $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {
	// ...
}

into this code:

namespace A;

if (\preg_match('/(foo)(bar)(baz)/', 'foobarbaz', $matches, \PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {
	// ...
}

to avoid double lookup for global functions and constants.

Configuration

If you want to ignore certain functions or constants, specify them in the configuration. Simply add a extra > backslasher-ignore section to composer.json file:

{
	"extra": {
		"backslasher-ignore": [
			"GuzzleHttp\\Promise\\each"
		]
	}
}
