StellarWP Coding Standards for PHP CodeSniffer
==============================================

[](#stellarwp-coding-standards-for-php-codesniffer)

StellarWP coding standards uses a combination of:

- Generic (part of PHP\_CodeSniffer)
- PEAR (part of PHP\_CodeSniffer)
- PSR2 (part of PHP\_CodeSniffer)
- Squiz (part of PHP\_CodeSniffer)
- Zend (part of PHP\_CodeSniffer)
- Custom sniffs (a few based on [WordPress](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards))

Important

Make sure that the command `phpcs` is on version `3.4.2`+. In order to install it on that specifc version globally you can use:

```
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=3.4.2"
```

Complete Installation Script
----------------------------

[](#complete-installation-script)

For a full installation of all required components, you can use the following script. This will install all necessary packages globally and configure PHPCS to use them:

```
#!/bin/bash

# Install PHP_CodeSniffer
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=^3.8.0"

# Install required coding standards and dependencies
composer global require "wp-coding-standards/wpcs:^3.0.0"
composer global require "automattic/vipwpcs:^3.0"
composer global require "phpcsstandards/phpcsextra:*"
composer global require "phpcsstandards/phpcsutils:*"
composer global require "stellarwp/coding-standards:*"
composer global require "sirbrillig/phpcs-variable-analysis:*"
composer global require "slevomat/coding-standard:^8.14.0"

# Update PHPCS installed paths to include all standards
phpcs --config-set installed_paths "$(phpcs --config-show | grep installed_paths | awk '{ print $2 }'),${HOME}/.composer/vendor/phpcsstandards/phpcsextra,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/phpcsstandards/phpcsutils,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/wp-coding-standards/wpcs,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/automattic/vipwpcs,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/stellarwp/coding-standards,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/sirbrillig/phpcs-variable-analysis,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/slevomat/coding-standard"

# Verify installation
echo "Installed PHPCS version:"
phpcs --version
echo ""
echo "Installed coding standards:"
phpcs -i
```

Note

The script assumes your global Composer binaries are in your PATH. Adjust the paths in the script if your Composer global installation directory is different.

Setup on PHPStorm
-----------------

[](#setup-on-phpstorm)

You can follow [this guide](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PHP+Code+Sniffer+in+PhpStorm#PHPCodeSnifferinPhpStorm-4.1.Obtainingcustomcodestyles) the only step you can replace is the one on **Installing via Composer** by the one above to install the 3.4.2 version instead.

Example Usage via `phpcs.xml` File
----------------------------------

[](#example-usage-via-phpcsxml-file)

        */tests/*

        src/Test.php

    */tests/_support/_generated/*
    */vendor/*
