This switch uses PHP CS Fixer instead of Code Sniffer and applies a lot of changes (most notably, PSR-12 compliance). Visit the repo for more information. This library will remain in place but may not be maintained and is no longer considered compliant with official CodeIgniter 4 framework styles.

(3.1.1 or greater). PHP (7.1 or greater) with mbstring extension. Install ------- [](#install) ### Composer install [](#composer-install) `cd /Path/To/MyProject``composer require codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard --dev` Set the `phpcs standard path` and `phpcbf standard path` in your editor/plugin config to: `/Path/To/MyProject/vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml` ### Download install [](#download-install) Download [CodeIgniter4-Standard](https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter4-Standard/archive/v1.0.1.zip). Set `standard ` paths to your local filesystem: `'/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'` ### Global install [](#global-install) Globally [install PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/README.md) with one of the various methods. Once complete you should be able to execute `phpcs -i` on the command line. You should see something like:- `The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend.` Either clone this repository... `git clone -b master --depth 1 https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter4-Standard.git`. or use composer... `composer global require codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard` or download. Take note of the paths where they were installed. Create a symbolic link to the `CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4` directory in `php_codesniffer/src/Standards/` eg. `ln -s ~/Documents/Projects/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4 ~/.composer/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/src/Standards/CodeIgniter4` or copy the `CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4` directory to `php_codesniffer/src/Standards/` Executing `phpcs -i` should now show CodeIgniter4 installed eg. `The installed coding standards are CodeIgniter4, MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend.` You should now be able to set 'CodeIgniter4' as the phpcs standard in the plugin/editor/IDE of your choice. ### Command line use [](#command-line-use) #### Sniffing errors & warnings (reporting). [](#sniffing-errors--warnings-reporting) Single file... `phpcs /Path/To/MyFile.php --standard='/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'` or if globally installed. `phpcs /Path/To/MyFile.php --standard=CodeIgniter4` Directory (recursive). `phpcs /Path/To/MyProject --standard='/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'` or if globally installed. `phpcs /Path/To/MyProject --standard=CodeIgniter4` #### Fixing fixable errors. [](#fixing-fixable-errors) Single file. `phpcbf /Path/To/MyFile.php --standard='/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'` or if globally installed. `phpcbf /Path/To/MyFile.php --standard=CodeIgniter4` Directory (recursive). `phpcbf /Path/To/MyProject --standard='/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'` or if globally installed. `phpcbf /Path/To/MyProject --standard=CodeIgniter4` Credits ------- [](#credits) Thanks to Greg Sherwood, Marc McIntyre, Andy Grunwald, Thomas Ernest and Erik Torsner, for providing open source code which helped me build this standard and a big thanks to [Squiz Labs](http://www.squizlabs.com) for creating [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer). Thanks to [EllisLab](https://ellislab.com) for originally creating CodeIgniter and the [British Columbia Institute of Technology](https://bcit.ca/) for continuing the project.
