README

Coding standard for Brick libraries.

Overview

This coding standard is used in Brick libraries, but can also be used in your own projects.

It is based on PSR-12 and uses Easy Coding Standard with rules cherry-picked from PHP-CS-Fixer, PHP_CodeSniffer, and the Slevomat coding standard.

Release process

This project is released with sequential version numbers: v1, v2, etc.

Each new version should be considered as breaking, as it may update dependency versions, add new rules, or modify existing ones.

Usage

Use locally

To use brick/coding-standard locally, install it with Composer:

composer require --dev brick/coding-standard

Then create an ecs.php file in the root of your project with the following content:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\Config\ECSConfig;

return static function (ECSConfig $ecsConfig): void {
    $ecsConfig->import(__DIR__ . '/vendor/brick/coding-standard/ecs.php');

    $ecsConfig->paths(
        [
            __DIR__ . '/src',
            __DIR__ . '/tests',
            __FILE__,
        ],
    );
};

You can then run Easy Coding Standard with:

vendor/bin/ecs

or, to fix coding standard violations automatically:

vendor/bin/ecs --fix

If you wish to avoid conflicts with your project dependencies, you may also install ECS in a tools directory with its own composer.json instead. Here is how your directory may look like:

tools/
└── ecs/
    ├── composer.json
    ├── composer.lock
    └── ecs.php
    └── vendor/
        └── ...
