Hi all! Does a Rule exists for this Rename StaticClass::a(); to StaticClass::b()->someMethod(); ?

Or should I create this Rule with rector-generator?

Hi,

we don't have such rule yet, so you'll have to make it yourself.
I'm curious, what do you need this for? :)

It's to migrate Joomla from 3.10.10 to 4.1.5. I'm learning Rector seriously since it's an awesome tool and saves a lot of time. We discussed some time ago about Joomla migration from 3 to 4 and you told me to do it myself as for now It's not useful to as many people as symfony or laravel and other leading frameworks. So I have to get my hands dirty drink some orange juice or cold water and make my neurons work. Thanks for this awesome tool.

That sounds cool 😎

I'd probably to rephrase that now: if you understand Joomla, you can do it yourself and publish as an open-source package to help the whole community 👍 Similar work has been done in many communities (good for inspiration on "how to" start):

• https://github.com/palantirnet/drupal-rector
• https://github.com/craftcms/rector
• https://github.com/sulu/sulu-rector
• https://github.com/FriendsOfShopware/shopware-rector
• https://github.com/sabbelasichon/typo3-rector

Go for it 👍 The start is slow, but in a month or two, you'll be able to turn any BC change to a Rector rule in an hour.
