Set of rules for [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) preferring tabs and based on [Nette coding standard](http://nette.org/en/coding-standard).

**Check [rules overview](#rules-overview) for examples.**

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
$ composer require zenify/coding-standard --dev
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run with Php\_CodeSniffer:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs src --standard=vendor/zenify/coding-standard/src/ZenifyCodingStandard/ruleset.xml -p
```

That's all!

How to be both Lazy and Safe
----------------------------

[](#how-to-be-both-lazy-and-safe)

### Composer hook

[](#composer-hook)

In case you don't want to use Php\_CodeSniffer manually for every change in the code you make, you can add pre-commit hook via `composer.json`:

```
"scripts": {
	"post-install-cmd": [
		"Zenify\\CodingStandard\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::addPhpCsToPreCommitHook"
	],
	"post-update-cmd": [
		"Zenify\\CodingStandard\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::addPhpCsToPreCommitHook"
	]
}
```

**Every time you try to commit, Php\_CodeSniffer will run on changed `.php` files only.**

This is much faster than checking whole project, running manually or wait for CI.

*Pretty cool, huh?*

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer check-cs
vendor/bin/phpunit
```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Rules are simple:

- new feature needs tests
- all tests must pass
- 1 feature per PR

We would be happy to merge your feature then!
