wp-cli VS WordPress-Coding-Standards

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the list of WordPress CLI commands may have expanded or changed. It's always a good idea to check the official WP-CLI documentation for the most up-to-date information. Here's a list of common WP-CLI commands as of my last update:

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

If you’re handy with scripting, check out WP CLI https://wp-cli.org - that’s probably what you’re after.

Another solution (if you are a bit techy) could be to use WP CLI and to a search/replace in the database.

I have played around with implementing some CI/CD pipelines for wordpress, specifically a managed wordpress instance, and I've found some things that work. At the core of it all has been WP-CLI backed by ansible.

/s. Really though I've never had to do much database cleaning, and in the event I do need to interact with the database, I prefer to use the wp-cli tool.

But when installed directly via composer you end up using this script as the entry point: https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/blob/7c5999512131c8e6b63d1200dedd53984078ce2c/bin/wp

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.
