Geniem (WordPress) PHP\_CodeSniffer Rules
=========================================

[](#geniem-wordpress-php_codesniffer-rules)

A custom set of rules to check styles for a Geniem WP projects.

Extends WordPress, WordPress-Docs, WordPress-Extra, and others, but makes some convenience changes to the rules.

Adds to the mix some of our own rules:

- `Geniem.ControlStructures.ElseCatchNewline`
    - Make else and catch blocks to start from new line

[The Geniem standard contains over 250 rules. Check them out.](USED_RULES.md)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev devgeniem/geniem-rules-codesniffer
cp vendor/devgeniem/geniem-rules-codesniffer/phpcs.xml.dist-project phpcs.xml.dist

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use `vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml.dist web/app/ config/` to make sure you are using the `phpcs` command from this package.

You could add to your project `composer.json` file the following:

```
{
    "scripts": {
        "lint": "vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml.dist web/app/ config/ -s --warning-severity=0",
        "lint-all": "vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml.dist web/app/ config/",
        "lint-fix": "vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=phpcs.xml.dist --basepath=. ./web/app/ ./config/"
    }
}
```

After that has been added to your `composer.json` file, you can run `composer lint` to check for all the errors and warnings.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

This project contains few helpers to make the development experience easier and faster.

These commands are available in the `composer.json` file, and are used `composer [command]`. The `composer` part has been omitted for brevity.
