PHP code quality
================

[](#php-code-quality)

Coding standard
---------------

[](#coding-standard)

Please read the [Legal Things PHP coding standard](https://github.com/legalthings/php-code-quality/blob/master/STANDARD.md#readme).

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

[](#installation)

All PHP projects of Legal Things should include this package. It can be installed through composer.

```
composer require --dev legalthings/php-code-quality

```

Toolchain
---------

[](#toolchain)

### Codeception

[](#codeception)

[Codeception](http://codeception.com/) is BDD-style PHP testing build on PHPUnit. It supports Unit testing, API testing and Acceptance testing.

```
bin/codecept

```

### vfsStream

[](#vfsstream)

[vfsStream](https://github.com/mikey179/vfsStream) is a stream wrapper for a virtual file system that may be helpful in unit tests to mock the real file system.

### PHP\_CodeSniffer

[](#php_codesniffer)

[phpcs](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) tokenises PHP files and detects violations of a defined set of coding standards. It is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent. This package comes with a custom ruleset which embodies the Legal Things PHP coding standard.

```
bin/phpcs . --standard=vendor/legalthings/php-code-quality --ignore=/bin/,/vendor/,/tests/

```

Versions
--------

[](#versions)

Always use [sementic versioning](http://semver.org/). With projects, the continues integration will automatically update patch version. When introducing a new feature or deprecating something you should update the minor version in `composer.json`.

**Do not introduce large changes or new features, while breaking backwards compatibility.** For a new major version, only cleanup tasks, specifically removing deprecated code, should be done. Manually update the major version in `composer.json`.
