PSR-12). Please see the PhpCollective Coding conventions for details. [List of included sniffs.](docs/sniffs.md) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) See **[docs](docs/README.md)**. Upstream docs: [squizlabs/PHP\_CodeSniffer/wiki](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki) Usage ----- [](#usage) ### How to use in projects [](#how-to-use-in-projects) Make sure you include the sniffer as `require-dev` dependency: ``` composer require --dev php-collective/code-sniffer ``` Then set up a `phpcs.xml` file in your project ROOT, e.g.: ``` src/ tests/ ``` ### How to use in any project [](#how-to-use-in-any-project) You can manually invoke the phpcs/phpcbf commands: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs vendor/bin/phpcbf ``` The command `phpcs` just sniffs, `phpcbf` fixes. It is recommended to set up composer scripts to have shortcuts: ``` "scripts": { "cs-check": "phpcs -nps", "cs-fix": "phpcbf -nps" } ``` Then you can run `composer cs-c` and `composer cs-f` and don't have to worry about the acronyms. ### Standards [](#standards) You can always switch the standard to the stricter one named `PhpCollectiveStrict`. It is an extension of the `PhpCollective` standard with its own (strict) sniffs added on top. ### How to include in your IDE [](#how-to-include-in-your-ide) E.g. for PHPStorm: - Open Settings -> Tools -> External Tools - Add a new tool named "cs-sniffer" and set Program to `$ProjectFileDir$/vendor/bin/phpcs`, Parameters to `--standard=$ProjectFileDir$/vendor/php-collective/code-sniffer/PhpCollective/ruleset.xml -p $FilePath$` and Working directory to `$ProjectFileDir$`. - Add a new tool named "cs-fixer" and set Program to `$ProjectFileDir$/vendor/bin/phpcbf`, Parameters to `--standard=$ProjectFileDir$/vendor/php-collective/code-sniffer/PhpCollective/ruleset.xml -v $FilePath$` and Working directory to `$ProjectFileDir$`. - Remove the "Open console" if you don't want to see any output here for the fixer. - Now set up your hotkeys under Settings -> Keymap (search for cs-sniffer and cs-fixer). E.g. `Control + Comma` for sniffing, and `Control + Dot` for fixing. You can also set up file watchers, but here you should better only whitelist certain sniffs that only add things and don't remove anything. ### How to configure the default rule set [](#how-to-configure-the-default-rule-set) In order to simplify command line interface, `phpcs` allows to specify [default rule set](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Configuration-Options#setting-the-default-coding-standard) in and [standards path](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Configuration-Options#setting-the-installed-standard-paths) the following way. Assuming the following directory structure: ``` vendor/php-collective/code-sniffer/ # Base directory |_ PhpCollective/ # Rule set name |_ ruleset.xml # Rule set ``` The base directory and rule set can be used in configuration now. ``` vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths vendor/php-collective/code-sniffer/ vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set default_standard PhpCollective ``` You might need to specify full directory path. Now the tools can be used without `--standard` switch. Make sure that you include the PhpCollective core standard ruleset in your custom one, e.g.: ``` PhpCollective Coding Standard for Project. Extends main PhpCollective Coding Standard. All sniffs in ./Sniffs/ will be auto loaded ``` If you want to use the `PhpCollectiveStrict` standard in your project, you should replace the string: ``` ``` with this one: ``` ``` ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity40 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community31 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
