## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, code-review
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
