Multiple error formatters for PHPStan
=====================================

[](#multiple-error-formatters-for-phpstan)

This project was born form a need to have multiple outputs from a PHPStan run. Its goal is to provide a way to direct outputs to multiple locations, without having to run PHPStan multiple times.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev backendtea/phpstan-multiple-error-formatter
```

If you also install [phpstan/extension-installer](https://github.com/phpstan/extension-installer) then you're all set!

 Manual installationIf you don't want to use `phpstan/extension-installer`, include extension.neon in your project's PHPStan config:

```
includes:
    - vendor/backendtea/phpstan-multiple-error-formatter/config.neon

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package provides the 'multiple' error formatter. Generally you want to use this in CI by adding the `--error-format multiple` flag.

The `multiple` error formatter wil look for the `errorFormatters.formatters` configuration option, where you can define the outputs you are looking for

This package defines the following formatters to output to a file:

- jsonFile : prints a json file
- prettyJsonFile: prints a pretty json file (with whitespaces for human readability)
- gitlabFile: outputs a file for gitlab code quality inspections

You can configure the file location it should output to with the `errorFormatters.jsonFile` and `errorFromatters.gitlabFile` configuration options:

An example where we want to write a pretty json file, a gitlab file, and output to a table in stdOut would look like this:

```
parameters:
    errorFormatters:
        formatters:
            - table
            - gitlabFile
            - prettyJsonFile
        jsonFile: %currentWorkingDirectory%/phpstan.json
        gitlabFile: %currentWorkingDirectory%/phpstan-gitlab.json
      # other config...
```
