Swivl Coding Standard for PHP\_CodeSniffer
==========================================

[](#swivl-coding-standard-for-php_codesniffer)

This coding standard is much more strict version of [PSR-12](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/).

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

[](#installation)

Install coding standard using composer:

```
composer require --dev swivl/php-coding-standard
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Create file `phpcs.xml.dist` in the root of your project with the content similar to:

```

        */src/Migrations/*

    src/
    tests/

    */Resources/*

```

Configure your IDE to use `phpcs.xml.dist` as the default ruleset for PHP\_CodeSniffer.

Checking code style in your project
-----------------------------------

[](#checking-code-style-in-your-project)

Check the whole project:

```
bin/phpcs
```

Check a single file or directory:

```
bin/phpcs path/to/file/or/directory
```

Automatically fix errors:

```
bin/phpcbf
```

Advanced configuration
----------------------

[](#advanced-configuration)

#### `Swivl.Commenting.DoctrineEntity`

[](#swivlcommentingdoctrineentity)

This sniff provides the following options:

```

```

- `concreteTypeToBaseTypeMap` - when column is mapped to concrete type FeedItemComment, but modification methods are type hinted with base class CommentInterface
- `useDynamicalCalculationForEnumColumnType` - when enum is mapped to some PHP type. For example, `type="auth_enum_type"` is mapped to PHP AuthType.

#### `Swivl.Commenting.FunctionComment`

[](#swivlcommentingfunctioncomment)

This sniff provides the option:

```

```

- `requiredPhpdoc` - configures when PHPDoc is required for a method. Possible values:
    - `always` - PHPDoc is required for all methods.
    - `map` - PHPDoc is required for a method if at least 1 type hint or return type is in the list which is defined in the sniff in FunctionCommentSniff::REQUIRED\_PHPDOC\_MAP. It is the default behavior.
    - `never` - PHPDoc isn't required for all methods.

#### `Swivl.Functions.ConstructorPropertyPromotion`

[](#swivlfunctionsconstructorpropertypromotion)

This sniff provides the following options:

```

```

Dependencies update
-------------------

[](#dependencies-update)

Some sniffs from Swivl Coding Standard override sniffs from libraries which are in dependencies list. The following sniffs should be synchronized with the original code during dependencies update:

- [Swivl\\Sniffs\\Commenting\\FunctionCommentSniff](Swivl/Sniffs/Commenting/FunctionCommentSniff.php)
- [Swivl\\Sniffs\\Functions\\MultiLineFunctionDeclarationSniff](Swivl/Sniffs/Functions/MultiLineFunctionDeclarationSniff.php)
- [Swivl\\Sniffs\\Namespaces\\NamespaceDeclarationSniff](Swivl/Sniffs/Namespaces/NamespaceDeclarationSniff.php)
