BuddyPress Coding Standards
===========================

[](#buddypress-coding-standards)

`PHP_CodeSniffer` rules (sniffs) to enforce BuddyPress minimum coding conventions.

Minimal requirements
--------------------

[](#minimal-requirements)

- PHP 5.6+
- [WPCS 3.0+](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards/releases)

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

[](#installation)

To use this standard in a project, declare it as a dependency.

```
composer require buddypress/bp-coding-standards
```

This will install the latest compatible version of PHPCS and WPCS to your vendor directory in order to run sniffs locally.

You can also manually add this to your project's `composer.json` file as part of the `require` property:

```
"require": {
    "buddypress/bp-coding-standards": "^0.2.0"
}
```

Using PHPCS
-----------

[](#using-phpcs)

To use this standard with `phpcs` directly from your command line, use the command:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=BuddyPress .
```

Alternatively, you can set this as a composer script, which will automatically reference the correct version of `phpcs` and the dependent standards.

```
"scripts": {
    "phpcs" : "phpcs --standard=BuddyPress ."
}
```

Then use the following command:

```
composer run phpcs
```

You can also pass arguments to the composer phpcs script, following a `--` operator like this:

```
composer run phpcs -- --report=summary
```

Extending the ruleset
---------------------

[](#extending-the-ruleset)

You can create a custom ruleset for your project that extends or customizes these rules by creating your own `phpcs.xml` or `phpcs.xml.dist` file in your project, which references these rules, like this:

```

    Example project ruleset

```
