Code Style to follow [PSR-2](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) standards. All methods names to be in CamelCase All variables names to be in snake_case Where practical code should be strongly typed, ie your methods must return a type ie `public function doThis() : void` PHP >= 7.3 allows the return type Nullable so there should be no circumstance a type cannot be return by using the following: `public function doThat() ?:string` To improve chances of PRs being merged please include tests to ensure your code works well and integrates with the rest of the project. ## Documentation API documentation is hosted using Swagger and can be found [HERE](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/invoiceninja/invoiceninja) ## Credits * [Hillel Coren](https://hillelcoren.com/) * [David Bomba](https://github.com/turbo124) * [All contributors](https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/graphs/contributors) **Special thanks to:** * [Holger Lösken](https://github.com/codedge) - [codedge](http://codedge.de) * [Samuel Laulhau](https://github.com/lalop) - [Lalop](http://lalop.co/) * [Alexander Vanderveen](https://blog.technicallycomputers.ca/) - [Technically Computers](https://www.technicallycomputers.ca/) * [Efthymios Sarmpanis](https://github.com/esarbanis) * [Gianfranco Gasbarri](https://github.com/gincos) * [Clemens Mol](https://github.com/clemensmol) * [Benjamin Beganović](https://github.com/beganovich) ## Current work in progress Invoice Ninja is currently being written in a combination of Laravel for the API and Client Portal and Flutter for the front end management console. This will allow an immersive and consistent experience across any device: mobile, tablet or desktop. To manage our workflow we will be creating separate branches for the client (Flutter) and server (Laravel API / Client Portal) and merge these into a release branch for deployments. ## License Invoice Ninja is released under the Attribution Assurance License.
