Composer plugin for installing PHP_CodeSniffer standards

Composer Plugins

A collection of composer plugins for specific installation instruction for composer packages., _(*1)

Important: if you are running on Flow 3+ and have the typo3/ci-flow package installed using your main distributions composer.json you should remove it there and install the codesniffer in a separate folder, like for example: https://git.typo3.org/Neos/Distributions/Base.git/tree/refs/heads/master:/Build/PhpCodesniffer, _(*2)

PHP Codesniffer Standard installer

The PHP Codesniffer Standard installer is able to install phpcs codesniffer standards into the <vendor>/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/CodeSniffer/Standards/ folder. By doing so the standard will be usable by calling bin/phpcs --standard <standard>., _(*3)

How To Use

• Find the package containing the codesniffs you want to use. This package should be a normal Codesniffing package containing a ruleset.xml and a composer.json.
• The composer package type has to be phpcodesniffer-standard
• The name of the package has to reflect the name of the standard (explained below)
• It's best if the package has a requirement to simplyadmire/composer-plugins. This is the only way to be sure the installer is available before the package is installed.
• Now add the package as a development dependency to your project
• Run bin/phpcs -i and see your standard listed

Naming Rules

The name of the standard is derived from the composer packagekey. The part after the / is taken as standard name. The first character is made uppercase, and all characters after a - will be uppercased. So:, _(*4)

• vendor/mysniffs becomes Mysniffs
• vendor/some-more-words becomes SomeMoreWords

TYPO3 Specific

The TYPO3 community already has packages available on packagist, and as renaming packagenames would be a bad practice we added 3 hardcoded standard names. Also the vendor name TYPO3 will always be enforced to be uppercase., _(*5)

To include the TYPO3 CGL to your project you can use one of the following commands (depending on the CGL you want to use, TYPO3 Flow or TYPO3 CMS):, _(*6)

TYPO3 Flow:, _(*7)

    composer require --dev typo3-ci/typo3flow=dev-master

TYPO3 CMS:, _(*8)

    composer require --dev typo3-ci/typo3cms=dev-master

Now you can sniff your packages with for example:, _(*9)

    bin/phpcs --extensions=php --standard=TYPO3Flow Packages/Application/My.Package
