CodeIgniter4-Standard

CodeIgniter 4 coding standard for use with PHP_CodeSniffer 3.

Version 1.0.1

Master	Develop

This is currently a work in progress.

Requested at: codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4#182

Requirements

PHP_CodeSniffer 3. (3.1.1 or greater).

PHP (7.1 or greater) with mbstring extension.

Install

Composer install

cd /Path/To/MyProject
composer require codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard --dev

Set the phpcs standard path and phpcbf standard path in your editor/plugin config to:

/Path/To/MyProject/vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml

Download install

Download CodeIgniter4-Standard.

Set standard paths to your local filesystem:

'/Path/To/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4/ruleset.xml'

Global install

Globally install PHP_CodeSniffer with one of the various methods.

Once complete you should be able to execute phpcs -i on the command line.

You should see something like:-

The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend.

Either clone this repository...

git clone -b master --depth 1 https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter4-Standard.git.

or use composer...

composer global require codeigniter4/codeigniter4-standard

or download.

Take note of the paths where they were installed.

Create a symbolic link to the CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4 directory in php_codesniffer/src/Standards/ eg.

ln -s ~/Documents/Projects/CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4 ~/.composer/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/src/Standards/CodeIgniter4

or copy the CodeIgniter4-Standard/CodeIgniter4 directory to php_codesniffer/src/Standards/

Executing phpcs -i should now show CodeIgniter4 installed eg.

The installed coding standards are CodeIgniter4, MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend.

You should now be able to set 'CodeIgniter4' as the phpcs standard in the plugin/editor/IDE of your choice.
