README

This is the POET Group's coding standard. This standard is primarily focused on assisting with code reviews. For example, warning the code reviewer about potential security or performance problems.

Please visit the coding standard documentation for further details.

Install

Just add it to your project's composer.json file (--dev is optional based on your needs):

composer require --dev poetgroup/poet-coding-standard

Usage

The following paths may change based on how things are installed, but basically you are looking for the path to the CodeSniffer command and the path to the moodle directory of this project:

vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=POET /path/to/moodle/plugin

Testing

In order to run the unit tests, you must ensure that you install from source otherwise, testing code from PHP_CodeSniffer would be missing. Here is an example of re-installing dependencies and running tests:

rm -rf vendor/
composer install --prefer-source
vendor/bin/phpunit

Please also know that any new tests added need the @group poet annotation added. This ensures that only tests from the POET standard are run.

Documenting

To update the standard's documentation, use the following command:

vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=POET --generator=markdown > POET.md
