Provides a PHP CodeSniffer ruleset for the MO4 coding standard

MO4 Coding Standard

The MO4 Coding Standard is an extension of the Symfony Coding Standard and adds following rules:

MO4.Arrays.ArrayDoubleArrowAlignment

• In associative arrays, the => operators must be aligned.
• In arrays, the key and => operator must be on the same line.

MO4.Arrays.MultiLineArray

• In multi line arrays, the opening bracket must be followed by newline.
• In multi line arrays, the closing bracket must be in own line.
• In multi line arrays, the elements must be indented.

MO4.Commenting.PropertyComment

• doc blocks of class properties must be multiline and have exactly one @var annotation

MO4.Formatting.UnnecessaryNamespaceUsage

• The imported class name must be used, when it was imported with a use statement.

MO4.Strings.VariableInDoubleQuotedString

• Interpolated variables in double quoted strings must be surrounded by { }, e.g. {$VAR} instead of $VAR.

MO4.WhiteSpace.ConstantSpacing

• const must be followed by a single space.

MO4.WhiteSpace.MultipleEmptyLines

• No more than one empty consecutive line is allowed. Taken from mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer.

Further rules (imported from other standards)

• See MO4/ruleset.xml, which has each imported rule commented.

Note that with this ruleset, the following Symfony Coding Standard rules are not enforced:

• "add doc blocks for all classes": the doc block for classes can be omitted, if they add no value
• "the license block has to be present at the top of every PHP file, before the namespace": the license block can be omitted

Most of the issues can be auto-fixed with phpcbf.

Requires

• PHP
• Composer is optional, but strongly recommended

Installation

Composer

Using Composer is the preferred way.

1. Add the MO4 coding standard to composer.json

    composer require --dev mayflower/mo4-coding-standard
   

2. Profit

    ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=MO4 path/to/my/file.php
   

3. Optionally, you might set MO4 as default coding standard

    ./vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set default_standard MO4
   

Source

1. Checkout this repository

    git clone https://github.com/mayflower/mo4-coding-standard.git
   

2. Install dependencies

    composer install
   

3. Check, that Symfony and MO4 are listed as coding standards

    ./vendor/bin/phpcs -i
   

4. Profit

    ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=MO4 path/to/my/file.php
   

5. Optionally, you might set MO4 as default coding standard

    ./vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set default_standard MO4
   

Troubleshooting

If phpcs complains that MO4 is not installed, please check the installed coding standards with phpcs -i and that installed_paths is set correctly with phpcs --config-show
