Novactive PHP\_CodeSniffer custom standards
===========================================

[](#novactive-php_codesniffer-custom-standards)

About
=====

[](#about)

This package provides some PHP\_CodeSniffer compliant coding standards, used at [Novactive](http://www.novactive.com).

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2b16962c8afa0b25deee94f82c3edb19b4b9ed6d9f9b9a658bd2d55ebb7ab73c/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f4e6f766163746976652f70687063732d6e6f76617374616e64617264732e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Novactive/phpcs-novastandards)

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

- [PHP\_CodeSniffer package](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)
- [PHP\_CodeSniffer standard for eZ Publish, from eZ Systems](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezcs/tree/master/php)

Note: the eZ Publish standard, from eZ Systems engineering team, had to be integrated to our package, as we are relying on it for our extended eZ Publish standard (there is no smart way to extend a custom standard for now)

### Configure CodeSniffer

[](#configure-codesniffer)

Open the PHPStorm Preferences / settings panel and go to the Code Sniffer section. You should define the value for parameter "PHP Code Sniffer (phpcs) path" for instance :

- "wwwroot/bin/phpcs" for eZ Publish
- "wwwroot/vendor/bin/phpcs" for other techno using composer
- "~/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs" if you installed CodeSniffer globally on your system using the command:

    php composer.phar global require squizlabs/php\_codesniffer

[](#configure-which-standard-to-use)

- "vendor/novactive/phpcs-novastandards/src/NovaEZ" for eZ Publish
- "vendor/novactive/phpcs-novastandards/src/NovaPSR2" for Symfony 2 and PSR2 compliant apps
