This allows you to make PHP\_CodeSniffer pass without changing any source code, making it possible to use PHP\_CodeSniffer in e.g. continuous integration pipelines or git hooks. This way, you can enforce that all new code adheres to your coding standard without touching the existing code. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Require the package with composer: ``` composer require --dev iodigital-com/php-code-sniffer-baseliner ``` It is also possible to install this package as a global composer dependency. Usage ----- [](#usage) In order to add `phpcs:ignore` and `phpcs:disable`/`phpcs:enable` instructions throughout your project, run: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs-baseliner create-baseline ``` How does it work? ----------------- [](#how-does-it-work) First, the tool runs `vendor/bin/phpcs` and captures the report. Based on the report output, it will add `// phpcs:ignore` instructions to the source code for each violation. It will only ignore the sniffs that actually are violated. In rare cases, adding these instructions could introduce new violations. Therefore, this process is repeated until no violations are reported by `phpcs`. Example ------- [](#example) Let's say we want to enforce `declare(strict_types = 1);` statements and native property type hints using PHP\_CodeSniffer. The Slevomat Coding Standard has sniffs for this: `SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.DeclareStrictTypes`and `SlevomatCodingStandard.TypeHints.PropertyTypeHint.MissingNativeTypeHint`. We install Slevomat Coding Standard and add the sniffs to our ruleset in `phpcs.xml`. If we now run `vendor/bin/phpcs-baseliner create-baseline` in our project, it will add ignore instructions in all files not containing `declare(strict_types = 1);` statements or native property type declarations: ``` - `. - Support ignoring violations on the first line of a file that end with a multi-line string, example: ``` ``` - Support detection of and merging with older types of ignore instructions, such as `@phpcsSuppress`. ### Health Score 50 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance45 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity34 Limited adoption so far Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity83 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
