Based heavily on the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards) but with some of our own too. Most notably, two spaces instead of tabs. Soz. **This config is still in development.** If you have suggestions for improvement or if you disagree with anything this config makes you do, feel free to file an issue. ***Writing PHP outside of the WordPress context?** We still use WordPress standards, but obviously without the need for using WordPress-specific functions. See [phpcs-config-chromatix-no-wordpress](https://github.com/ChromatixAU/phpcs-config-chromatix-no-wordpress).* Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install globally to use on any project: ``` composer global require chromatix/phpcs-config-chromatix ``` Install locally to one project: ``` composer require chromatix/phpcs-config-chromatix ``` You'll also need to have [phpcs](https://www.squizlabs.com/php-codesniffer) installed in the same manner, and [set your phpcs `installed_paths`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Configuration-Options#setting-the-installed-standard-paths) like follows: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../../chromatix,../../wp-coding-standards/wpcs ``` It's probably ideal to do this in a [`post-install-cmd` script in your `composer.json`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md); see this package's [composer.json](composer.json) for an example of a cross-platform way to do so (it might look a bit complicated, but unfortunately is required... at least in our testing so far, anyway!). Usage ----- [](#usage) Add this to your `phpcs.xml` file: ``` ``` Then: - **Using globally?** Run `phpcs *.php` - **Using locally?** Run `vendor/bin/phpcs *.php` Alternatively, you'll probably find it useful to add a script to your `composer.json`: ``` "scripts": { "lint": "find . -type d \\( -name '.git' -o -name 'vendor' -o -name 'node_modules' \\) -prune -o -type f -name '*.php' -print | xargs vendor/bin/phpcs" } ``` Then you can just run `composer lint`.
