It defines rules for [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/) Built-in support for: - "Drupal": Coding Standards - "DrupalPractice": Best practices for Drupal module development Online documentation: Note that Javascript support has been removed. To check and fix Javascript files please use [ESLint](http://eslint.org/) and see the [Drupal ESLint](https://www.drupal.org/node/1955232) documentation. Local installation in your Drupal project ----------------------------------------- [](#local-installation-in-your-drupal-project) For collaborating developer teams it makes sense to lock a Coder version with your other development dependencies locally. In your project where you have your composer.json file execute this: ``` composer require --dev drupal/coder ``` Then you can run Coder on your custom module code like this: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal --extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,info,txt,md,yml web/modules/custom ``` To simplify execution it is highly recommended to use a settings file, see below. Usage ----- [](#usage) Check Drupal coding standards ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal --extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,info,txt,md,yml web/modules/custom ``` Check Drupal best practices ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=DrupalPractice --extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,info,txt,md,yml web/modules/custom ``` Automatically fix coding standards ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal --extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,info,txt,md,yml web/modules/custom ``` Store settings in a phpcs.xml.dist file --------------------------------------- [](#store-settings-in-a-phpcsxmldist-file) In order to save and commit your PHPCS settings to Git you can use a phpcs.xml.dist file in your project like this: ``` PHP CodeSniffer configuration for example development. web/modules/custom ``` Then you can invoke phpcs without any options and it will read phpcs.xml.dist from the current directory. This can also be useful for Continuous Integration setups. Example: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs -p ``` Working with Editors -------------------- [](#working-with-editors) Drupal Code Sniffer can be used with various editors. Editors: - [Atom](https://www.drupal.org/node/1419996) - [Eclipse](https://www.drupal.org/node/1420004) - [Komodo](https://www.drupal.org/node/1419996) - [Netbeans](https://www.drupal.org/node/1420008) - [PhpStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/php-code-sniffer.html) - [Sublime Text](https://www.drupal.org/node/1419996) - [Vim](https://www.drupal.org/node/1419996) - [Visual Studio Code (VSCode)](https://www.drupal.org/node/1419996) Automated Testing (PHPUnit + PHPCS + PHPStan) --------------------------------------------- [](#automated-testing-phpunit--phpcs--phpstan) Coder Sniffer comes with a PHPUnit test suite to make sure the sniffs work correctly. Use Composer to install the dependencies: ``` composer install ``` Then execute the tests: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` Then execute the coding standards checker on Coder itself: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs ``` Then execute static analysis: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpstan ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please [create an issue fork and merge request on drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/git/using-gitlab-to-contribute-to-drupal). Thank you!
