How to use

Enabling the rules

Add it to your project phpcs.xml or phpcs.xml.dist ruleset:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="Smart Vitaal coding standard" namespace="smartvitaal/coding-standard">
    <arg name="basepath" value="."/>

    <file>./app</file>
    <file>./config</file>
    <file>./database</file>
    <file>./modules</file>
    <file>./resources</file>
    <file>./tests</file>

    <rule ref="./vendor/qbixx/smartvitaal-code-style/ruleset.xml"/>
</ruleset>

Sniffing code

The following commands can be added to the scripts section of your composer.json file to check and fix invalid code. Some optional checks are also included to illustrate how they might work together to check all your code.

{
    "scripts": {
        "composer-validate": "@composer validate --no-check-all --strict",
        "codesniffer-check": "vendor/bin/phpcs --runtime-set ignore_errors_on_exit 1 --runtime-set ignore_warnings_on_exit 1",
        "codesniffer-fix": "vendor/bin/phpcbf --runtime-set ignore_errors_on_exit 1 --runtime-set ignore_warnings_on_exit 1 || exit 0",
        "test": "vendor/bin/phpunit",
        "check": [
            "@composer-validate",
            "@codesniffer-check",
            "@test"
        ]
    }
}
