I work mostly on Drupal projects, so normally use the Drupal Coding standard to sniff the custom code for any violations. This PHP library is a type of PHP-CodeSniffer standard which checks PHP code against the below list. List ---- [](#list) 1. Order of imports - `Group Drupal/Symfony imports and third party libraries added via composer separately.` 2. Avoid Switch case - `PHP >= 8.0 provides match() {} expression, can be replaced in place of switch() case:.` 3. Avoid Static Class references - `Cannot be injected.` 4. Order of member functions - `Order member function in ascending order, improves readability.` Usage ----- [](#usage) Create a project, and add this packages as **DEV** dependancy. #### Installation [](#installation) Add via composer as local dependencies ``` composer require --dev dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer composer require --dev vishwac09/extended-php-guidelines ``` **OR** Add via composer as global dependencies ``` composer require global --dev dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer composer require global --dev vishwac09/extended-php-guidelines ``` Add via GIT ``` git clone git@github.com:vishwac09/extended-php-guidelines.git ``` add the standard to phpcs ``` phpcs --config-set installed_paths /path/to/extended-php-guidelines/EPG ``` ### Run [](#run) Check if the new stanadard is configures with phpcs. ``` phpcs -i ``` Sniff code for the above violation. ``` phpcs --standard=EPG --colors file1.php, file2.inc ``` ### Example [](#example) ``` FILE: /Users/hp/Documents/temp.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 5 WARNINGS AFFECTING 5 LINES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 | WARNING | Group Drupal/Symfony imports and third party libraries added via composer separately. 26 | WARNING | Member functions of class must be defined in ascending order 28 | WARNING | Do not use static class references. 40 | WARNING | Member functions of interface must be defined in ascending order 50 | WARNING | Do not use switch expression.
