config: update repo config files and documents

[adevade]

Description

.editorconfig

Helps contributors by making sure their editor is behaving according to our specifications.
More info

.gitattributes

Ignores repo files and tests when exporting this project. For example, when downloading as .zip or when installing via composer. This helps save a few hundred kilobytes for every install.

Examples from other popular PHP projects:

• Laravel Framework
• Spatie PHP Package Skeleton

composer.json

Remove version field. This is handled automatically by packagist.org with the branches/tags/releases in this repo. This way, you only need to update the version numer in one place for each new release; the constant UrlBuilder::VERSION.

The easiest way to manage versioning is to just omit the version field from the composer.json file. The version numbers will then be parsed from the tag and branch names.
Source

Other changes:

• Use 4 spaces indentation instead of 2
• Reorder some fields
• Add useful links to documentation and repository
• Add custom scripts for formatting and testing
• Add common config values, see laravel-framework and package-skeleton
• Update dependencies and commit composer.lock (Related issue build: don't commit the composer.lock file #113)

CONTRIBUTING.md

Mostly formatting, fixing a broken link to Code of Conduct and clarifying the composer commands at the bottom. Also using the newly added composer custom script for running the tests.

pint.json

Update preset from psr12 to laravel. The laravel preset is based on psr12 with some other quality of life improvements. Formatting the code in its current state has no difference between the presets.

Another preset available is symfony. I don't like that one personally. Mostly because it uses "Yoda style" conditions. Ex: if ($meaning === 42) becomes if (42 === $meaning).

Hey @adevade , same comment as in #111 , any guidance on the "right" way of reading the diff would be great.

Thanks again for your hard work on this, we'll leave you feedback as soon as we're able.

@luqven This one should be fine to just read the diff, paired with my notes in the original comment.

The updates to composer.json has very detailed commits of what I changed, so config: reindent composer.json with 4 spaces to config: add custom scripts to composer.json could be read commit by commit for extra clarity.
