Symfony PSR-2 CodeSniffer ruleset

Provides a Symfony PSR CodeSniffer ruleset

• PSR-1 & PSR-2
• Symfony standard
• Symfony naming conventions

Strongly inspired by the OpenSky Symfony2 coding standard (forked InterfaceSuffixSniff). Yet, this ruleset relies on CodeSniffer PSR-1 & 2 sniffs and adds Symfony standards & naming conventions. It also allows chained calls (fluent interface).

Installation

1. Install phpcs:

    pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
   

2. Find your PEAR directory:

    pear config-show | grep php_dir
   

3. Copy, symlink or check out this repo to a folder called Symfony inside the phpcs Standards directory:

    cd /path/to/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards
    git clone git://github.com/xalopp/symfony-coding-standard.git Symfony
   

   PHPCS 1.5 user must use the "1.5" branch!

4. Select the Symfony ruleset as your default coding standard:

    phpcs --config-set default_standard Symfony
   

5. Profit

    phpcs path/to/my/file.php
   

Pragmatic & opinionated customisations

Allows fluent-interface chained calls syntax

<?php

    $this
        ->getFoo()
            ->getBar()
            ->getBar()
    ; // This is allowed

    $this->getFoo()  ; // This is a violation

?>

Known limitations

• functions aren't enforced at the moment

Contributing

If you do contribute code to these sniffs, please make sure it conforms to the PHPCS coding standard and that the unit tests still pass.

To check the coding standard, run from the Symfony-coding-standard source root:

    phpcs --ignore=Tests --standard=PHPCS . -n

The unit-tests are run from within the PHP_CodeSniffer directory

• get the CodeSniffer repository
• symlink, copy or clone this repository at CodeSniffer/Standard/Symfony
• from the CodeSniffer repository root run phpunit --filter Symfony_

Issue

If you spot any missing standard/conventions and don't want to contribute, please open an issue. It will at least be added to this readme.
