WordPress-Coding-Standards VS PHP CS Fixer

Is a Docker WordPress Environment focused on the development of WordPress plugins and themes, supports WP-CLI, phpMyAdmin, Xdebug and WordPress Coding Standards - WPCS.

PHP Code Sniffer helps us to achieve uniformity of code styles, we also can add other standards, like WordPress Coding Standars, some companies define their own standards etc. There are several ways to config that, but in this article, I will manage WordPress Coding Standards through Composer so we can manage these standards per project, using VS Code IDE.

WPCS's static code checks don't seem to recognize the vulnerability either, so I opened an issue: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/issues/2217.

Are you a new developer in general or is WordPress new for you as a developer? In my experience it's best to practise and start with little plugins. Be sure to use a code-sniffer which enforces the WordPress coding standards.

The standard here is probably wpcs (https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards) which is a set of rules for the tool phpcs (https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)

We use WordPress Coding Standards for PHP_CodeSniffer (WPCS) which uses Squizlabs' PHP codesniffer (phpcs) and beautifier & fixer (phpcbf) under the hood to scan and format the code.

You can also save yourself some time too by making use of the WordPress ruleset for PHPCS. I've integrated this into my code editor so it evaluates my code on-the-fly.

PHP-CS-Fixer automatically fixes PHP coding standard issues, maintaining a clean codebase and adhering to coding standards. It can be integrated into the development workflow to ensure all code complies with defined standards.

While you're at it, also include code-style checkers like phpcs, phpmd and/or php-cs-fixer

I run two tools for this - php-cs-fixer on PHP 5.6 and the built-in syntax checker(php -l).

You can use this library to help automate this: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer 😊

To be bit a elaborate and for a proper updated installtion process, here is what I did: I used the [latest versio]n(https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/releases/tag/v3.10.0) of php cs fixer then entered the command that followed to install php-cs-fixer.

PHP CS Fixer is able to generate a GitLab formatted report which GitLab can use to show you any new violations in the code or even if code style violations have been tackled.

Laravel Pint is an opinionated PHP code style fixer for minimalists. Pint is built on top of PHP-CS-Fixer and makes it simple to ensure that your code style stays clean and consistent. Pint is a new addition to the Laravel framework.
