ocReaper naming convention analyzer for [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) provides sniffs that ensure proper variable and function naming.

The ensured convention is identical to [kettanaito/naming-cheatsheet](https://github.com/kettanaito/naming-cheatsheet).

The project uses [tbrianjones/Inflect.php](https://gist.github.com/tbrianjones/ba0460cc1d55f357e00b) to handle pluralization.

Sniffs included in this standard
--------------------------------

[](#sniffs-included-in-this-standard)

🔧 = [Automatic errors fixing](#fixing-errors-automatically)

#### NamingConventionAnalyzer.Functions.ActionPrefix

[](#namingconventionanalyzerfunctionsactionprefix)

Ensures that a function must start with a verb. In case the function starts with a prefix: the second word will be used in check.

#### NamingConventionAnalyzer.Functions.BoolPrefix

[](#namingconventionanalyzerfunctionsboolprefix)

Ensures that functions that returns boolean value must start with:

- has
- is
- should

#### NamingConventionAnalyzer.Functions.ContextDuplication

[](#namingconventionanalyzerfunctionscontextduplication)

Ensures that a function does not duplicate the name of the class it belongs to.

#### NamingConventionAnalyzer.Variables.ContextDuplication

[](#namingconventionanalyzervariablescontextduplication)

Ensures that a variable does not duplicate the name of the function it belongs to.

#### NamingConventionAnalyzer.Variables.SingularPlural

[](#namingconventionanalyzervariablessingularplural)

Ensures that the name of those variables that are containing non-associative arrays are in plural.

#### Squiz.NamingConventions.ValidFunctionName.NotCamelCaps

[](#squiznamingconventionsvalidfunctionnamenotcamelcaps)

Ensures that function names are in camel case.

#### Squiz.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName.NotCamelCaps

[](#squiznamingconventionsvalidvariablenamenotcamelcaps)

Ensures that variable names are in camel case.

#### Squiz.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName.MemberNotCamelCaps

[](#squiznamingconventionsvalidvariablenamemembernotcamelcaps)

Ensures that class member names are in camel case.

#### Squiz.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName.StringNotCamelCaps

[](#squiznamingconventionsvalidvariablenamestringnotcamelcaps)

Ensures that variable names inside a doublequoted string are in camel case.

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

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install ocReaper naming convention analyzer is [through Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "ocreaper/naming-convention-analyzer": "0.4.1"
    }
}
```

How to run the sniffs
---------------------

[](#how-to-run-the-sniffs)

You can choose one of two ways to run only selected sniffs from the standard on your codebase:

### Choose which sniffs to run

[](#choose-which-sniffs-to-run)

The recommended way is to write your own ruleset.xml by referencing only the selected sniffs. This is a sample ruleset.xml:

```

```

Then run the `phpcs` executable the usual way:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=ruleset.xml --extensions=php --tab-width=4 -sp src tests

```

### Exclude sniffs you don't want to run

[](#exclude-sniffs-you-dont-want-to-run)

You can also mention ocReaper naming convention analyzer in your project's `ruleset.xml` and exclude only some sniffs:

```

```

However it is not a recommended way to use ocReaper naming convention analyzer, because your build can break when moving between minor versions of the standard (which can happen if you use `^` or `~` version constraint in `composer.json`). I regularly add new sniffs even in minor versions meaning your code won't most likely comply with new minor versions of the package.

Fixing errors automatically
---------------------------

[](#fixing-errors-automatically)

Sniffs in this standard marked by the 🔧 symbol support [automatic fixing of coding standard violations](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Fixing-Errors-Automatically). To fix your code automatically, run phpcbf instead of phpcs:

```
vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=ruleset.xml --extensions=php --tab-width=4 -sp src tests

```

Always remember to back up your code before performing automatic fixes and check the results with your own eyes as the automatic fixer can sometimes produce unwanted results.
