README

Apart from the PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-12 and the Drupal standard's, we follow few more to achieve consistency of code project wide.

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

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

Create a project, and add this packages as DEV dependancy.

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

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
