Introduction

This project is a collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) to validate code developed for Triopsi Hosting Package. It ensures code quality and adherence to coding conventions, especially the official Triopsi Hosting Coding Standards.

Installation

Requirements

The Triopsi Hosting Coding Standards require PHP 5.4 or higher and PHP_CodeSniffer version 3.3.1 or higher.

Standalone

1. Install PHP_CodeSniffer by following its installation instructions (via Composer, Phar file, PEAR, or Git checkout).

   Do ensure that PHP_CodeSniffer's version matches our requirements, if, for example, you're using VVV.

2. Clone the Triopsi Hosting standards repository:

    git clone -b master https://github.com/Triopsi-Hosting/code-standard.git thcs
   

3. Add its path to the PHP_CodeSniffer configuration:

    phpcs --config-set installed_paths /path/to/thcs
   

   Pro-tip: Alternatively, you can tell PHP_CodeSniffer the path to the Triopsi standards by adding the following snippet to your custom ruleset:

   <config name="installed_paths" value="/path/to/thcs" />

To summarize:

cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/Triopsi-Hosting/code-standard.git thcs
git clone -b master https://github.com/Triopsi-Hosting/code-standard.git thcs
cd phpcs
./bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../thcs

And then add the ~/projects/phpcs/bin directory to your PATH environment variable via your .bashrc.

You should then see Triopsi et al listed when you run phpcs -i.

How to use

Command line

Run the phpcs command line tool on a given file or directory, for example:

phpcs --standard=Triopsi index.php
