php arguments detector
The ideal number of arguments for a function is zero. ~ Robert C. Martin
Keep control over the complexity of your methods by checking that they do not have too many arguments with this package.
Installation
Requires >= PHP 7.3
composer require degraciamathieu/php-arguments-detector --dev
Usage
vendor/bin/phpargsdetector inspect {folder}

Weight
The weight is the number of arguments multiplied by the number of lines of the method.
The weight of the foo method is 10 : 2 arguments * 5 lines.
class Bar {
public function foo($a, $b)
{
if ($a) {
//
}
return $b;
}
}
You can use it as a complexity indicator.
