Deptrac is a static code analysis tool for PHP projects that helps developers define, communicate, and enforce architectural rules.
It lets you describe architectural layers over classes and specify which dependencies are permitted between them, making it useful for keeping large applications, bundles, modules, and extensions properly separated. It can be run locally or as part of a CI pipeline to detect violations before code is merged.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Defines architectural layers and dependency rules for PHP codebases.
- Checks source code for violations of project architecture decisions.
- Supports configuration using YAML or PHP files.
- Includes an init command for generating a starter configuration.
- Can be integrated into CI pipelines to guard pull requests.
- Offers optional Graphviz and Mermaidjs formatters for visualizing layers, rules, and violations.
- Provides documentation covering core concepts, configuration, collectors, formatters, and debugging.
