This package contains Infinum Coding Standards for WordPress for PHP_CodeSniffer. The intention of this package is to have a unified code across the WordPress projects we do at Infinum, and to help with the code review.
Composer install is simple. Just run
composer require infinum/coding-standards-wp
or add to your composer.json
"require-dev": {
"infinum/coding-standards-wp": "^0.4.2"
}
Copy and modify the configuration file into your project
cp phpcs.xml.dist.sample phpcs.xml.dist
Then, run the following command to run the standards checks in your project:
/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin/phpcs
You can also selectively check files or directories by specifying them.
It's recommended that you install a Composer plugin that will handle the registration of standards with PHP_CodeSniffer. The two actively maintained are
We suggest using the dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer
when including our standards, so that you avoid any possible issues.
To make the sniff work in Sublime Text 3, you need to have sublime linter set up, and add phpcs linter.
Then in your settings you need to reference the path to the coding standards. It should look something like this
"paths": {
"linux": [],
"osx": [
"${project}/vendor/bin/",
"/Users/user_name/wpcs/vendor/bin"
],
"windows": []
},
The path depends on where you've installed your standards. Then in the linters user settings you'll need to add in the linters
key
"phpcs": {
"@disable": false,
"args": [],
"excludes": [],
"standard": "Infinum"
},
Or set the standard
to point to the phpcs.xml.dist in your root folder (preferred method)
"phpcs": {
"@disable": false,
"args": [],
"excludes": [],
"standard": "$folder/phpcs.xml.dist"
},
In your wpcs
folder, when adding Infinum folder. You can clone this repository there, be sure to comment out the <config name="installed_paths" value="vendor/wp-coding-standards/wpcs"/>
part, so that your sniffer won't go looking for that folder.
To set up phpcs in your VSCode, use vscode-phpcs extension. Once installed in the user settings set
"phpcs.enable": true,
"phpcs.standard": "Infinum",
This will look in your project's vendor folder for the Infinum's WordPress Coding Standards, and run the sniffs on every save. You can see the issues in the Problems tab at the bottom.
To set up phpcs in the Atom editor, you need to install a couple of packages. First install the base linter package for Atom: linter. Upon completion you will be prompted to install its dependency linter-ui-default. After that install linter-phpcs.
In linter-phpcs
package settings you can set the path to previously installed phpcs
or allow the package to search for phpcs
executable inside your project. Also, you must set the name of the standard: "Infinum"
or path to the ruleset.xml
of Infinum's WordPress Coding Standards. We recommend you to disable searching for configuration files because that can cause some other standards to be used instead.
In config.cson linter-phpcs settings can look like this:
# If you want to use phpcs executable available in project
"linter-phpcs":
autoConfigSearch: false
codeStandardOrConfigFile: "Infinum"
disableWhenNoConfigFile: true
# If you want to use specific phpcs executable
"linter-phpcs":
autoConfigSearch: false
autoExecutableSearch: false
codeStandardOrConfigFile: "Infinum"
disableWhenNoConfigFile: true
executablePath: "/Users/user_name/wpcs/vendor/bin/phpcs" #For Mac users
executablePath: "path_to_composer/vendor/bin/phpcs.bat" # For Windows users
# If you want to use specific standard
"linter-phpcs":
autoConfigSearch: false
codeStandardOrConfigFile: "vendor/infinum/coding-standards-wp/Infinum/ruleset.xml"
disableWhenNoConfigFile: true
