WordPress-Coding-Standards VS xDebug

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.

WP Setup has been updated to version 1.1.0, introducing Xdebug support and allowing for easy generation of test coverage reports.

Code profiling: Code profiling involves measuring the performance of your code by analyzing the execution time and memory usage of specific functions or methods. You can use a tool like Xdebug or Blackfire to perform code profiling on your Laravel application. To use Blackfire, ensure that your environment meets the following requirements:

xDebug is a powerful PHP debugging and profiling tool. Integrated with many IDEs, it can be used for step-by-step debugging, setting breakpoints, and real-time value inspection, making the debugging process more efficient. (xDebug is already built into ServBay, no need for separate installation)

It is necessaire to active Xdebug on your PHP. More details on Xdebug official documentation.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Psalm, a static analysis tool that can help you identify potential bugs and things that might not be considered best practice, and XDebug, a debugging and profiling extension for PHP.
