Abstract

This project implements a set of rules for use with PHP CodeSniffer.

See MediaWiki conventions on our wiki for a detailed description of the coding conventions that are validated by these rules. :-)

How to install

Create a composer.json which adds this project as a dependency:

{
	"require-dev": {
		"mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer": "18.0.0"
	},
	"scripts": {
		"test": [
			"phpcs -p -s"
		],
		"fix": "phpcbf"
	}
}

Create a .phpcs.xml with our configuration:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset>
	<rule ref="./vendor/mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer/MediaWiki"/>
	<file>.</file>
	<arg name="bootstrap" value="./vendor/mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer/utils/bootstrap-ci.php"/>
	<arg name="extensions" value="php,php5,inc"/>
	<arg name="encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</ruleset>

Install: composer update
Run: composer test
Run: composer fix to auto-fix some of the errors, others might need manual intervention.
Commit!

Note that for most MediaWiki projects, we'd also recommend adding a PHP linter to your composer.json – see the full documentation for more details.

TODO

Migrate the old code-utils/check-vars.php
