Included Sniffs

ControlStructures

LogicalOperatorLinePositionSniff

Enforces logical operators (&&, ||) to appear at the start of a new line in multi-line conditions.

Valid:

if ($condition1
    && $condition2) {
    // Code
}

Invalid:

if ($condition1 &&
    $condition2) {
    // Code
}

Formatting

ChainedMethodSemicolonPositionSniff

Enforces that in multi-line chained method calls, the terminating semicolon must be on its own line, aligned with the start of the statement. This sniff is auto-fixable using phpcbf (for example: composer fix in this repo).

Valid:

$installationId = $this->deviceAssignment
                ->getInstallation()
                ?->getId()
;

$this->deviceAssignment
    ->getInstallation()
    ->getId()
;

Invalid:

$installationId = $this->deviceAssignment
                ->getInstallation()
                ?->getId();

$this->deviceAssignment
    ->getInstallation()
    ->getId();
