Hooks to enable PHP CodeSniffer with the Coding Standard configurable after running `composer install` or `composer update`.

The project is abandoned!
-------------------------

[](#the-project-is-abandoned)

**This project is abandoned in favor of [captainhook/captainhook](https://packagist.org/packages/captainhook/captainhook) providing general git hooks management. Everything in this repository can be achieved with captainhook/captainhook.**

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install dependency via composer:

```
$ composer require --dev metasyntactical/composer-codesniffer-hooks
```

Add scripts to composer post hooks:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "MetaSyntactical\\CodeSniffer\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::addPhpCsToPreCommitHook"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "MetaSyntactical\\CodeSniffer\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::addPhpCsToPreCommitHook"
    ]
}
```

Add the codesniffer standard which has been installed as dependency (e.g. "metasyntactical/symfony-coding-standard") to the extra field in composer.json:

```
"extras": {
    "codesniffer": {
        "standard": {
            "dependency": "metasyntactical/symfony-coding-standard"
        }
    }
}
```

On each `composer install` or `composer update` the hook will be deployed to the local git repository.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Every time you try to commit, PHP\_CodeSniffer will run on changed `.php` files only. There is nothing to do manually.
