A community-developed Rector extension providing automated upgrade and refactoring rules for Laravel applications. It applies version-specific code transformations based on the Laravel (and related packages like Livewire, Cashier, Faker) versions detected in composer..

Use cases

• automatically upgrade Laravel codebase to a newer version
• refactor legacy Laravel code to use current framework APIs
• apply Laravel-specific code style and quality improvements
• migrate deprecated Laravel method calls to their replacements
• upgrade Livewire, Cashier, and Faker usage alongside Laravel
• prepare a Laravel app for a PHP version upgrade

When to choose

• you maintain a Laravel application and want to automate framework version upgrades
• you want to reduce manual effort when migrating deprecated Laravel APIs
• you already use Rector and need Laravel-specific rules
• you want consistent, rule-based refactoring across a large Laravel codebase

When to avoid

• your project does not use Laravel or the Rector ecosystem
• you need runtime tooling rather than static code transformations
• you require fully hands-off upgrades without code review of automated diffs
