Installation ------------ [](#installation) Our PHP\_CodeSniffer package can be installed with composer with the following command: ``` composer require best-it/php_codesniffer --dev ``` **Please use Version 1 for PHP 7.0!** Usage ----- [](#usage) Create a PHP\_CodeSniffer configuration (phpcs.xml.dist / phpcs.xml) like this: ``` The coding standard for project x. src/ tests/ ``` If you want to sniff for special PHP Versions just declare a ["testVersion"](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility#using-a-custom-ruleset) like: ``` ``` and include ``` ``` after you included our ruleset. (Don't forget to dev-require *phpcompatibility/php-compatibility:^9.0*.) Execute the PHP\_CodeSniffer (path can vary on your composer configuration): ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs ``` We use warnings for things which a human person should check, but which must not fail an automatic build. If you want to see warnings but get successful builds, call the code sniffer with the special config option *ignore\_warnings\_on\_exit*: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set ignore_warnings_on_exit 1 ``` or, if you want the option only for a single run: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --runtime-set ignore_warnings_on_exit 1 ``` [Check original docs for more info.](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Configuration-Options#ignoring-warnings-when-generating-the-exit-code) If you want to ignore warnings altogether, you can provide the cli argument n: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs -n ``` We suggest that you do not ignore warnings, but only check them in a manual pull/merge request. ### Use in PHPStorm [](#use-in-phpstorm) How to use it in our favorite IDE? /File/Settings: 1.

You can use the [verbose-options](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Usage#printing-progress-information)of the code sniffer cli, to see which tokens are parsed on which position in your file. Please consult the [official code sniffer tutorial](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Coding-Standard-Tutorial)to know the theory how to code a custom sniff. The gist of this tutorial is, that you need to implement the interface *PHP\_CodeSniffer\\Sniffs\\Sniff* which enforces two methods: #### 1. Token Registration [](#1-token-registration) The *register*-method should return the parser token id of the tokens, which you want to sniff. #### 2. Process [](#2-process) The *process*-method is called with the position of your registered token in the token stack of the given file object. best it "Helpers" ----------------- [](#best-it-helpers) ### BestIt\\Sniffs\\AbstractSniff [](#bestitsniffsabstractsniff) We refactored our basic work into this abstract. You can use an extended api to get a cleaner api and skips simple boilerplating. - **areRequirementsMet**: If this method returns false, the sniff is "skipped". - **isSniffSuppressed**: If this method returns true, the annotation for suppression is given and the sniff should be "skipped". - **processToken**: The boilerplate of the normal api is saved in object properties and you can sniff you token without the need to "re-implement" the basic interface with its method arguments. - **setUp**: You can set up the test, before the requirements are checked with *areRequirementsMet*. - **tearDown**: If you want to "destroy" this sniff, you can tear it down after the sniff processing. **The CodeSniffer is meant to be stateless even if the sniff-classes are used as "singletons". So if you save a state in your sniff, you MUST tearDown afterwards or initialize correctly in the setUp.** ### BestIt\\Sniffs\\DocTags\\AbstractTagSniff [](#bestitsniffsdoctagsabstracttagsniff) This abstract class helps you sniff for single doc tags. Just implement the given abstract methods and you can register and sniff for a specific doc tag and check for its content till a newline. #### BestIt\\Sniffs\\DocTags\\TagContentFormatTrait [](#bestitsniffsdoctagstagcontentformattrait) This trait is meant in addition to the AbstractTagSniff and provides you with an api, which checks the tag content automatically against a regex pattern, which leads to an error or warning with the code *TagContentFormatInvalid*. ### BestIt\\Sniffs\*RegistrationTrait [](#bestitsniffsregistrationtrait) We provide some traits, which make it easier, to register sniffs for class-like structures, constants, methods and properties. Testing ------- [](#testing) ### Requirements [](#requirements) **To be able to test our written sniffs ensure that composer is installed with the option `--prefer-source`. This is needed because we use the TestCase of the SlevomatCodingStandard.** ### Error code as public constant [](#error-code-as-public-constant) In additional to readable/clean clode our test base requires you to provide your error codes as a public constant prefixed with **CODE\_** in your sniff class. ### No "Test"-Namespace [](#no-test-namespace) Our test base expects you to provide everything in the "normal" namespace: *BestIt*. ### Helping test traits [](#helping-test-traits) #### Token Registration [](#token-registration) The trait *BestIt\\Sniffs\\TestTokenRegistrationTrait* helps you with testing of the registered tokens. #### Public error codes [](#public-error-codes) The trait *BestIt\\Sniffs\\TestRequiredConstantsTrait* helps you to test the errors codes. We suggest that you test the values as well, because they could be part of a "foreign ruleset" out of your control from your "customer." So we enforce that the constant values stay api-stable! #### Default Integration Tests [](#default-integration-tests) The trait *BestIt\\Sniffs\\DefaultSniffIntegrationTestTrait* provides you with three tests to test the usually use cases of a sniff based on sniff-individual test files: 1. testCorrect 2. testErrors 3. testWarnings ##### Requirements [](#requirements-1) - Your test-file should be called exactly like your sniff (including the namespace) but suffixed with ***Test*** - Provide a folder ***Fixtures*** as a sibling to your test file. - Put a folder into your "Fixtures" directory, which is called exactly like the short name of the sniff. ##### testCorrect [](#testcorrect) Create a ***correct*** folder into your fixtures directory. Every php file in this folder will be checked against your sniff. The sniff may not populate errors and warning for a successful test! ##### testErrors [](#testerrors) Create a ***with\_errors*** folder into your fixtures directory. Every php file in this folder should trigger an error in your sniff. You must provide the error structure through the file name. The file name must match the following pregex: ``` /(?P[\w]+)(\(\w*\))?\.(?P[\d-\,]+)(?P\.fixed)?\.php/ ``` The file name gives information about which errors in which line should occur. Example files would be *ErrorCode.1.php, ErrorCode.1,2,3.php, ErrorCode.1,2,3.fixed.php*, ErrorCode(2).1,2,3.php, ErrorCode(2).1,2,3.fixed.php\_. The error code must be the original code value from your sniff, the numbers after the first dot are the erroneous lines. If you provide an additional file which is suffixed with "fixed" then this is the correct formatted file for its erroneous sibling. ##### testWarnings [](#testwarnings) Create a ***with\_warnings*** folder into your fixtures directory. Every php file in this folder should trigger a warning in your sniff. You must provide the warning structure through the file name. The file name must match the following pregex: ``` /(?P[\w]+)(\(\w*\))?\.(?P[\d-\,]+)(?P\.fixed)?\.php/ ``` The file name gives information about which warning in which line should occur. Example files would be *WarningCode.1.php, WarningCode.1,2,3.php, WarningCode.1,2,3.fixed.php*, WarningCode(2).1,2,3.php, WarningCode(2).1,2,3.fixed.php\_. The warning code must be the original code value from your sniff, the numbers after the first dot are the lines with warnings. If you provide an additional file which is suffixed with "fixed" then this is the correct formatted file for its erroneous sibling. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). ### Semantic Versioning [](#semantic-versioning) We use [semantic versioning](https://semver.org) in correlation with the style enforced by our ruleset and not directly with our source code. This means, that there could be breaking change in our code, but as long as the style is not changed heavily, then the breaking change will not be mirrored in our version number: - Patch-Version (last number): backwards-compatible bugfixes in our ruleset - Minor-Version (middle number): backwards-compatible features in our ruleset (just warnings, deletions or auto-fixable errors) - Major-Version (first number): breaking change in our ruleset **We optimize our versioning for the usage of the sniffer, not for the development!** TODO ---- [](#todo) - Remove further slevomat dependencies for internal apis. ### Health Score 41 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance11 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity82 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 79% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
