Installation ============ [](#installation) Use composer to install the coding standard in the home directory. ``` composer global require youwe/coding-standard ``` Configuring PHPStorm to use the coding standard. ================================================ [](#configuring-phpstorm-to-use-the-coding-standard) First configure PHPStorm to use the right phpcs command. Go to **Settings > Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Code Sniffer**. Choose "Local" for the path and fill in the full path to `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs` Then go to **Settings > Editor > Inspections** and search for PHP Code Sniffer Validation. Select Custom and the add the path to `~/.config/composer/vendor/youwe/coding-standard/src/Youwe` Using the coding standard in a project ====================================== [](#using-the-coding-standard-in-a-project) To use the standard in a project the standard needs to be required in composer. ``` cd composer require youwe/coding-standard --dev ``` This will add the coding standard to the vendor directory of the project. To let phpcs use the coding standard add a file phpcs.xml to the root of the project. ``` ``` The standard can be checked from the command line by going to the directory. ``` cd ./vendor/bin/phpcs ./src ``` Configuring PHP CodeSniffer to also show less severe messages ============================================================= [](#configuring-php-codesniffer-to-also-show-less-severe-messages) By default PHP CodeSniffer shows only messages with a severity higher than **5**. The Youwe coding standard also has some messages with a lower severity. These are messages that encourage a better way of coding but should not block a pull request. To configure phpcs to show also these messages execute the following command. ``` ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set severity 1 ``` ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance52 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity39 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity81 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~69 days Recently: every ~245 days Total 49 Last Release 334d ago Major Versions 1.9.1 → 2.0.02017-11-02 2.0.6 → 3.0.02020-06-08 PHP version history (4 changes)1.0.0PHP >=5.4.0 1.3.3PHP ^5.4.0 || ^7.0 3.1.0PHP ^7.0 3.3.1PHP ^7.0 || ^8.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d1aea28c806322edb89f68278b28e8e95d5daeff723b442fa6eef3449c2b7fe8?d=identicon)[youweagency](/maintainers/youweagency) --- Top Contributors [![l-helmus-youwe](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/211521009?v=4)](https://github.com/l-helmus-youwe "l-helmus-youwe (17 commits)")[![vssr](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/912625?v=4)](https://github.com/vssr "vssr (11 commits)")[![leonhelmus](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/18070887?v=4)](https://github.com/leonhelmus "leonhelmus (9 commits)")[![ashokadewit](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45412158?v=4)](https://github.com/ashokadewit "ashokadewit (6 commits)")[![marcelmediact](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/32926910?v=4)](https://github.com/marcelmediact "marcelmediact (4 commits)")[![rutgerrademaker](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/912316?v=4)](https://github.com/rutgerrademaker "rutgerrademaker (3 commits)")[![michielfb](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3659033?v=4)](https://github.com/michielfb "michielfb (1 commits)")[![jasperzeinstra](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9214557?v=4)](https://github.com/jasperzeinstra "jasperzeinstra (1 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/youwe-coding-standard/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/youwe-coding-standard/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/youwe-coding-standard) ``` ### Alternatives [mayflower/mo4-coding-standard PHP CodeSniffer ruleset implementing the MO4 coding standards extending the Symfony coding standards. 17508.3k5](/packages/mayflower-mo4-coding-standard)[youwe/testing-suite Contains Youwe's default testing packages for php. 13176.9k8](/packages/youwe-testing-suite) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
