Http Action Naming (ARCH7004)

Key php.naming.route-handler-naming · Severity info · Category naming

Controller action names should reflect the semantics of the HTTP verb they map to (GET → get/list, POST → create). RESTful consistency lets readers infer a route’s effect from its name.

Incorrect

<?php

class UserController
{
    #[Route('/users', methods: ['POST'])]
    public function getUser(Request $request): Response
    {
        return $this->repo->store($request->all());
    }
}

Correct

<?php

class UserController
{
    #[Route('/users', methods: ['POST'])]
    public function createUser(Request $request): Response
    {
        return $this->repo->store($request->all());
    }
}

Fix

Align the action name with its HTTP verb: create for POST, get/list for GET.
