Provides a CodeSniffer ruleset

• MO4 standard

Requires

• PHP CodeSniffer
• Symfony Coding Standard

##MO4 Coding Standard

The MO4 Coding Standard is an extension of the Symfony Coding Standard and adds following rules:

• short tags "[...]" must be used instead of "array(...)"
• in associates arrays, the "=>" operators must be aligned
• in arrays, the key and '=>' operator must be on the same line
• each consecutive variable assignments must align on the assignment operator
• use statements must be sorted
• you should use the imported class name, whenever it was imported with a use statement
• variables in double quoted strings must be surrounded by { }, e.g. "{$VAR}" instead of "$VAR"
• sprintf or "{$VAR1} {$VAR2}" must be used instead of the concat operator, concat operators are only allowed to concat constants and multi line strings,
• a white space is required after each cast operator, e.g. "(int) $value" instead of "(int)$value",

1. Install phpcs:

    pear install PHP_CodeSniffer
   

2. Find your PEAR directory:

    pear config-show | grep php_dir
   

3. Copy, symlink or check out the Symfony coding standard and this repository to their respecting folders inside the phpcs Standards directory:

    cd /path/to/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards
    git clone git://github.com/xalopp/symfony-coding-standard.git Symfony
    git clone git://github.com/mayflower/mo4-coding-standard.git MO4
   

4. Select the MO4 ruleset as your default coding standard:

    phpcs --config-set default_standard MO4
   

5. Profit

    phpcs path/to/my/file.php
   

If you 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 in the repository root:

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

The unit-tests are run from within the PHP_CodeSniffer directory

• clone the CodeSniffer repository
• symlink, copy or clone the Symfony Coding Standard and symlink, copy or move it to CodeSniffer/Standards/Symfony
• symlink, copy or clone this repository to `CodeSniffer/Standards/MO4```
• from the CodeSniffer repository root run phpunit --filter MO4
