Build Status

Using this library you can easily write code sniffs for PHP_CodeSniffer. When you don't use this DSL you will find yourself writing lots of specific, never reusable code.

Example

Say you want to create a code sniff that triggers an error if a PHP file contains an (auto-generated) doc comment at the top (this is called a "file comment"). You should first create a "matcher" for this specific situation:

<?php

namespace Matthias\PhpCodingStandard\Sniffs\Commenting;

use Matthias\Codesniffer\MatcherInterface;
use Matthias\Codesniffer\Sequence\SequenceBuilder;

class FileCommentMatcher implements MatcherInterface
{
    public function matches(array $tokens, $tokenIndex)
    {
        $forwardSequence = SequenceBuilder::create()
            ->lookingForward()
            ->expect()
                ->token(T_WHITESPACE, ' ') // space
                ->token(T_STRING) // namespace root
                ->quantity() // sub namespaces
                    ->any()
                    ->succeeding()
                        ->token(T_NS_SEPARATOR)
                        ->token(T_STRING)
                    ->end()
                ->end()
                ->token(T_SEMICOLON) // end of namespace declaration
                ->quantity() // two blank lines
                    ->exactly(2)
                    ->token(T_WHITESPACE, "\n")
                ->end()
            ->end()
            ->build();

        $backwardSequence = SequenceBuilder::create()
            ->lookingBackward()
            ->expect()
                ->quantity()
                    // the first new line is part of the PHP open tag
                    ->exactly(1)
                    ->token(T_WHITESPACE, "\n")
                ->end()
            ->end()
            ->build();

        $oneBlankLineAfterNamespace = $forwardSequence->matches($tokens, $tokenIndex);
        $oneBlankLineBeforeNamespace = $backwardSequence->matches($tokens, $tokenIndex);

        return $oneBlankLineBeforeNamespace && $oneBlankLineAfterNamespace;
    }
}

Next the actual sniff class is pretty simple:

<?php

use Matthias\PhpCodingStandard\Sniffs\Commenting\FileCommentMatcher;

class PhpCodingStandard_Sniffs_Commenting_NoFileCommentForClassSniff implements \PHP_CodeSniffer_Sniff
{
    public function register()
    {
        // this sniff will be triggered when the code sniffer encounters a T_DOC_COMMENT token
        return array(
            T_DOC_COMMENT
        );
    }

    public function process(PHP_CodeSniffer_File $phpcsFile, $stackPtr)
    {
        $tokens = $phpcsFile->getTokens();

        // create the matcher
        $matcher = new FileCommentMatcher();

        // use the matcher to determine if the current token is a file comment
        if ($matcher->matches($tokens, $stackPtr)) {
            $phpcsFile->addError('File should not have a file comment', $stackPtr);
        }
    }
}
