Plank PHPCS Configuration
=========================

[](#plank-phpcs-configuration)

Composer library to provide drop in installation and configuration of [WPCS](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards) and [PHPCompatibilityWP](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP), setting reasonable defaults for WordPress development with nearly zero configuration.

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

[](#installation)

Install the library via Composer:

```
$ composer require --dev plank/wp-phpcs-composer:master
```

That's it!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Lint your PHP files with the following command:

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpcs .
```

If relying on Composer, edit the `composer.json` file by adding the following:

```
	"scripts": {
		"lint": [
			"phpcs ."
		],
	}
```

Then lint via:

```
$ composer run lint
```

### Continuous Integration

[](#continuous-integration)

PHPCS Configuration plays nicely with Continuous Integration solutions. Out of the box, the library loads the `Plank-Default` ruleset, and checks for syntax errors for PHP 7 or higher.

To override the default PHP version check, set the `--runtime-set testVersion 7.0-` configuration option. Example for PHP version 7.2 and above:

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpcs --runtime-set testVersion 7.2-
```

See more [information about specifying PHP version](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility#sniffing-your-code-for-compatibility-with-specific-php-versions).

Note that you can only overrule PHP version check from the command-line.

### IDE Integration

[](#ide-integration)

Some IDE integrations of PHPCS fail to register the `Plank-Default` ruleset. In order to rectify this, place `.phpcs.xml.dist` at your project root:

```

```
