Ruleset is based on **PSR2 + PSR12** with additional rules, more detailed list is below. Ruleset is possible to use with **space indentation** and also **tabs indentation**. Installation and running ------------------------ [](#installation-and-running) Install with composer: ``` composer require --dev arxeiss/coding-standards ``` and run CodeSniffer ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=./vendor/arxeiss/coding-standards/Rules/phpcs-spaces.xml . ``` ### Custom ruleset file [](#custom-ruleset-file) Better way is to create custom file `phpcs.xml`, with content like *phpcs.example.xml*. After that it is possible to run ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=./phpcs.xml ``` > More info about PHP CodeSniffer can be found in the [PHP CS wiki](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki) ### Groups of sniffs [](#groups-of-sniffs) Package consist of multiple files based on the used sniffs. There are 3 files basic files including all selected sniffs. Use *phpcs-spaces.xml* or *phpcs-tabs.xml*, not both. Optionally it is possible to add also *phpcs-strict.xml*. - **phpcs-spaces.xml** - Contains all sniffs with space indentation - **phpcs-tabs.xml** - Contains all sniffs with tabs indentation - **phpcs-strict.xml** - Contains extra, more strict rules based on Slevomat rules It can be handy to not include all sniffs at once, specially when migrating big project. Files above just including these partial files: - **Parts/phpcs-psr.xml** - PSR2 + PSR12 standards - **Parts/phpcs-use-spaces.xml** or **Parts/phpcs-use-tabs.xml** - Include only one file on the indentation preferences - **Parts/phpcs-generic.xml** - Additional Generic rules - **Parts/phpcs-pear.xml** - Additional PEAR rules - **Parts/phpcs-squiz.xml** - Additional Squiz rules - **Parts/phpcs-slevomat.xml** - Selected Slevomat rules If building own ruleset based on partial files, always use *Parts/phpcs-psr.xml*, then *Parts/phpcs-use-spaces.xml* or *Parts/phpcs-use-tabs.xml*. Later more additional rules can be added. See *phpcs.example.xml*. Included sniffs --------------- [](#included-sniffs) See [SniffList](SniffsList.md), I wrote one sentence explanation for each used sniff into XML files. Also Slevomat rules have some comments about in their repository Readme More suggested -------------- [](#more-suggested) Check that Namespace matches file structure ------------------------------------------- [](#check-that-namespace-matches-file-structure) This is used from my own blog in Laravel, where main folder `app` is `BlogApp` namespace. ``` ``` Since v0.11.0 `mixed` typehint is not required ---------------------------------------------- [](#since-v0110-mixed-typehint-is-not-required) Explanation can be found here [\#6](https://github.com/arxeiss/php-coding-standards/pull/6) If you want to force linter to use `mixed` typehint, you can enable by adding this into phpcs.xml file. ``` ``` ### Health Score 48 — FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance72 Regular maintenance activity Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
