Automate Laravel Upgrades

To add a set to your config, use RectorLaravel\Set\LaravelLevelSetList and pick the constant that matches your target version. Sets for higher versions include sets for lower versions.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use RectorLaravel\Set\LaravelLevelSetList;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withSets([
        LaravelLevelSetList::UP_TO_LARAVEL_110,
    ]);

The sets in RectorLaravel\Set\LaravelSetList only contain changes related to a specific version upgrade. For example, the rules in LaravelSetList::LARAVEL_110 apply when upgrading from Laravel 10 to Laravel 11.

Additional Sets

To improve different aspects of your code, use the sets in RectorLaravel\Set\LaravelSetList.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use RectorLaravel\Set\LaravelSetList;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withSets([
        LaravelSetList::LARAVEL_CODE_QUALITY,
        LaravelSetList::LARAVEL_COLLECTION,
        ...
    ]);

Hire The Rector Team

Rector is a tool that we develop and share for free, so anyone can automate their refactoring. But not everyone has dozens of hours to understand complexity of abstract-syntax-tree in their own time. That's why we provide commercial support - to save your time.

Would you like to apply Rector on your code base but don't have time for the struggle with your project? Hire the Rector team to get there faster.

Learn Rector Faster

Not everyone has time to understand Rector and AST complexity. You can speed up the process by reading the book The Power of Automated Refactoring. Not only will it help you learn and understand Rector but it supports the project as well.
