See [MediaWiki conventions](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP) on our wiki for a detailed description of the coding conventions that are validated by these rules. :-) How to install -------------- [](#how-to-install) 1. Create a composer.json which adds this project as a dependency. The latest version number can be found in [HISTORY.md](HISTORY.md) or on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer). ``` { "require-dev": { "mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer": "48.0.0" }, "scripts": { "test": [ "phpcs -p -s" ], "fix": "phpcbf" } } ``` 2. Create a .phpcs.xml with our configuration: ``` . ``` 3. Install: `composer update` 4. Run: `composer test` 5. Run: `composer fix` to auto-fix some of the errors, others might need manual intervention. 6. Commit! Note that for most MediaWiki projects, we'd also recommend adding a PHP linter to your `composer.json` – see the [full documentation](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Continuous_integration/Entry_points#PHP) for more details. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Some of the sniffs provided by this codesniffer standard allow you to configure details of how they work. - `MediaWiki.Classes.FullQualifiedClassName`: This sniff is disabled by default. ``` 5 ``` - `MediaWiki.Usage.ExtendClassUsage`: This sniff lets you exclude globals from being reported by the sniff, in case they cannot be replaced with a Config::getConfig() call. Examples that are already in the list include `$wgTitle` and `$wgUser`. ``` ``` - `MediaWiki.Commenting.ClassLevelLicense`: This sniff does nothing by default. ``` ``` - `MediaWiki.NamingConventions.PrefixedGlobalFunctions`: This sniff lets you define a list of ignored global functions and a list of allowed prefixes. By default the only allowed prefix is 'wf', corresponding to the global function `wf...()`. ``` ``` - `MediaWiki.NamingConventions.ValidGlobalName`: This sniff lets you define a list of ignored globals and a list of allowed prefixes. By default the only allowed prefix is 'wg', for global variables `$wg...`. ``` ``` - `MediaWiki.Arrays.TrailingComma`: This sniff lets you enforce that multi-line arrays have trailing commas, which makes Git diffs nicer. It can also enforce that single-line arrays have no trailing comma. By default, it does nothing. ``` ``` --- ### Health Score 72 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance87 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity53 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community51 Growing community involvement Maturity90 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
