Jetpack Coding Standard
=======================

[](#jetpack-coding-standard)

This is a package implementing phpcs sniffs for the Jetpack Coding Standard.

This standard is generally that of WordPress, with a few additions.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your project's `composer.json`, add the following lines:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer": "*",
        "automattic/jetpack-codesniffer": "^1"
    }
}
```

Your project must use the default composer vendor directory, `vendor`.

You should then include the Jetpack rules in your `.phpcs.xml.dist`, like

```

```

You will also likely want to set some configuration for other included rulesets:

```

```

Included Standards
------------------

[](#included-standards)

The Jetpack standard includes the following other standards:

- [PHPCompatibilityWP](https://packagist.org/packages/phpcompatibility/phpcompatibility-wp)
- [WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, and WordPress-Extra](https://packagist.org/packages/wp-coding-standards/wpcs)
- [VariableAnalysis](https://packagist.org/packages/sirbrillig/phpcs-variable-analysis)
- Selected sniffs from [MediaWiki](https://packagist.org/packages/mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer)

Included Sniffs
---------------

[](#included-sniffs)

Custom sniffs defined by this standard are documented in [the docs subdirectory](./docs).

Per-dir Compatibility
---------------------

[](#per-dir-compatibility)

This ruleset is intended to be used with PHPCompatibiity's `testVersion` set to `7.2-`. If used with [automattic/jetpack-phpcs-filter](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/trunk/projects/packages/phpcs-filter/)'s per-directory configuration, you may run into a situation where a subdir wants to be compatible down to a later version, but as PHPCompatibiity uses `` for `testVersion` the setting cannot be directly altered per directory.

To assist with this case, we provide additional rulesets that disable PHPCompatibility rules detecting issues that only apply to older versions:

- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 7.3.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 7.4.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.0.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.1.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.2.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.3.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.4.
- `` will disable rules detecting issues that only apply to PHP < 8.5.

Note this isn't a perfect replacement for raising `testVersion`, as it cannot *add* PHPCompatibility rules that do not trigger when `testVersion` indicates support for PHP 7.2. For example, `Jetpack-Compat-74` disables the `PHPCompatibility.Classes.NewTypedProperties.Found` rule ("Typed properties are not supported in PHP 7.3 or earlier") but cannot enable more specific rules like `PHPCompatibility.Classes.NewTypedProperties.UnionTypeFound` ("Union types are not present in PHP version 7.4 or earlier") that would be triggered if `testVersion` were set to `7.4-`.

You may also run into cases where certain subdirectories contain code that is not intended to run under WordPress. We provide additional rulesets to help with this situation as well:

- `` will re-enable rules that PHPCompatibilityWP disables because WordPress provides polyfills for various functions.
- `` includes Jetpack-Compat-NoWP and disables additional rules checking for use of WordPress-provided functions over PHP-native ones.
- `` will disable certain rules that do not make much sense in PHPUnit tests.
