Code Style to follow 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.

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.
