PHP Codesniffer ruleset to follow Laravel's coding style

php codesniffer ruleset for laravel or any other php projects.

Installation

[*] Install using composer

composer require mreduar/laravel-phpcs --dev

[*] Install manually

1. Copy the phpcs.xml file into your project root.
2. Descoment lines <file>app</file> and the others in phpcs.xml file.
3. Because this package uses third party standards that are not in phpcs you need to install these package.
   1. composer require slevomat/coding-standard
4. Run phpcs . to check your project.

Usage

Enabling the rules

Only neccesary if you installed as a package using composer!

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mreduar\LaravelPhpcs\LaravelPhpcsServiceProvider" --tag="ruleset"

This will publish to your root directory the following file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset>
    <arg name="basepath" value="."/>

    <file>./app</file>
    <file>./config</file>
    <file>./resources</file>
    <file>./routes</file>
    <file>./tests</file>

    <rule ref="./vendor/mreduar/laravel-phpcs/phpcs.xml"/>
</ruleset>

Optionally you can also publish a git hook that will help you to never overlook smelly code.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mreduar\LaravelPhpcs\LaravelPhpcsServiceProvider" --tag="hook"

The file will be published in its root directory .git/hooks/pre-commit So every time you try to commit phpcs will first check that you have everything correct.

$ git commit -m "test"
[1/1] code sniffer        OK!
[master a6133d7] test
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

if you have any errors the commit will be cancelled.
