Useful CodeSniffer standards to be used with phpcs. They go beyond what the original repo offers or include vital fixes.

These standards are for the phpcs-fixer branch only. They will only work with this branch of the code sniffer tool.

Installation

{
	"require-dev": {
		"dereuromark/codesniffer-standards": "dev-master"
	}
}

if you just want to link the sniffs via --standard=/path/to/custom/ruleset.xml.

Otherwise use

php composer.phar require dereuromark/codesniffer-standards
phpcs --config-set installed_paths vendor/dereuromark/codesniffer-standards

The second command lets phpcs know where to find your new sniffs. Ensure that you do not overwrite any existing installed_paths value.

Depending on how you installed the code sniffer changes how you run it.

If you have installed phpcs, you can do the following:

phpcs --standard=MyStandard /path/to/code

etc.

If not, you can link to the ruleset xml files as shown above.

The official CakePHP coding standards as phpcs-fixer version. Let the fixer auto-correct the found issues. Saves time and energy.
