3.5.0
PSR-12 Standard Ready
PHP_CodeSniffer has included an in-progress PSR-12 standard since 3.3.0, but this release includes the completed standard. You can now check your code using the PSR-12 standard:
phpcs --standard=PSR12 /path/to/code
Most of the errors found can also be automatically fixed by PHPCBF:
phpcbf --standard=PSR12 /path/to/code
Changelog
- Added support for PHP 7.4 typed properties
- The nullable operator is now tokenized as
T_NULLABLEinside property types, as it is elsewhere - To get the type of a member var, use the
File::getMemberProperties()method, which now contains atypearray index- This contains the type of the member var, or a blank string if not specified
- If the type is nullable, the return type will contain the leading
? - If a type is specified, the position of the first token in the type will be set in a
type_tokenarray index - If a type is specified, the position of the last token in the type will be set in a
type_end_tokenarray index - If the type is nullable, a
nullable_typearray index will also be set toTRUE - If the type contains namespace information, it will be cleaned of whitespace and comments in the return value
- The nullable operator is now tokenized as
- The PSR1 standard now correctly bans alternate PHP tags
- Previously, it only banned short open tags and not the pre-7.0 alternate tags
- Added support for only checking files that have been locally staged in a git repo
- Use
--filter=gitstagedto check these files - You still need to give PHPCS a list of files or directories in which to apply the filter
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Use
- JSON reports now end with a newline character
- The
phpcs.xsdschema now validatesphpcs-onlyandphpcbf-onlyattributes correctly- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The tokenizer now correctly identifies inline control structures in more cases
- All helper methods inside the
Fileclass now throwRuntimeExceptioninstead ofTokenizerException- Some tokenizer methods were also throwing
RuntimeExpectionbut now correctly throwTokenizerException - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Some tokenizer methods were also throwing
- The
File::getMethodParameters()method now returns more information, and supports closure USE groups- If a type hint is specified, the position of the last token in the hint will be set in a
type_hint_end_tokenarray index - If a default is specified, the position of the first token in the default value will be set in a
default_tokenarray index - If a default is specified, the position of the equals sign will be set in a
default_equal_tokenarray index - If the param is not the last, the position of the comma will be set in a
comma_tokenarray index - If the param is passed by reference, the position of the reference operator will be set in a
reference_tokenarray index - If the param is variable length, the position of the variadic operator will be set in a
variadic_tokenarray index
- If a type hint is specified, the position of the last token in the hint will be set in a
- The
T_LISTtoken and it's opening and closing parentheses now contain references to each other in the tokens array- Uses the same parenthesis_opener/closer/owner indexes as other tokens
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The
T_ANON_CLASStoken and it's opening and closing parentheses now contain references to each other in the tokens array- Uses the same parenthesis_opener/closer/owner indexes as other tokens
- Only applicable if the anon class is passing arguments to the constructor
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The PHP 7.4
T_BAD_CHARACTERtoken has been made available for older versions- Allows you to safely look for this token, but it will not appear unless checking with PHP 7.4+
- Metrics are now available for
Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacing- Use the
inforeport to see blank lines before/after functions - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Use the
- Metrics are now available for
Squiz.WhiteSpace.MemberVarSpacing- Use the
inforeport to see blank lines before member vars - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Use the
- Added
Generic.ControlStructures.DisallowYodaConditionssniff- Ban the use of Yoda conditions
- Thanks to Mponos George for the contribution
- Added
Generic.PHP.RequireStrictTypessniff- Enforce the use of a strict types declaration in PHP files
- Added
Generic.WhiteSpace.SpreadOperatorSpacingAftersniff- Checks whitespace between the spread operator and the variable/function call it applies to
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Added
PSR12.Classes.AnonClassDeclarationsniff- Enforces the formatting of anonymous classes
- Added
PSR12.Classes.ClosingBracesniff- Enforces that closing braces of classes/interfaces/traits/functions are not followed by a comment or statement
- Added
PSR12.ControlStructures.BooleanOperatorPlacementsniff- Enforces that boolean operators between conditions are consistently at the start or end of the line
- Added
PSR12.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacingsniff- Enforces that spacing and indents are correct inside control structure parenthesis
- Added
PSR12.Files.DeclareStatementsniff- Enforces the formatting of declare statements within a file
- Added
PSR12.Files.FileHeadersniff- Enforces the order and formatting of file header blocks
- Added
PSR12.Files.ImportStatementsniff- Enforces the formatting of import statements within a file
- Added
PSR12.Files.OpenTagsniff- Enforces that the open tag is on a line by itself when used at the start of a php-only file
- Added
PSR12.Functions.ReturnTypeDeclarationsniff- Enforces the formatting of return type declarations in functions and closures
- Added
PSR12.Properties.ConstantVisibilitysniff- Enforces that constants must have their visibility defined
- Uses a warning instead of an error due to this conditionally requiring the project to support PHP 7.1+
- Added
PSR12.Traits.UseDeclarationsniff- Enforces the formatting of trait import statements within a class
Generic.Files.LineLengthignoreCommentsproperty now ignores comments at the end of a line- Previously, this property was incorrectly causing the sniff to ignore any line that ended with a comment
- Now, the trailing comment is not included in the line length, but the rest of the line is still checked
Generic.Files.LineLengthnow only ignores unwrappable comments when the comment is on a line by itself- Previously, a short unwrappable comment at the end of the line would have the sniff ignore the entire line
Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacingno longer checks spacing around assignment operators inside function calls- Use the
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacingsniff to enforce spacing around assignment operators- Note that this sniff checks spacing around all assignment operators, not just inside function calls
- The
Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing.NoSpaceBeforeEqualserror has been removed- use
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing.NoSpaceBeforeinstead
- use
- The
Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing.NoSpaceAfterEqualserror has been removed- use
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing.NoSpaceAfterinstead
- use
- This also changes the PEAR/PSR2/PSR12 standards so they no longer check assignment operators inside function calls
- They were previously checking these operators when they should not have
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Use the
Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndentno longer performs exact indents checking for chained method calls- Other sniffs can be used to enforce chained method call indent rules
- Thanks to Pieter Frenssen for the patch
PEAR.WhiteSpace.ObjectOperatorIndentnow supports multi-level chained statements- When enabled, chained calls must be indented 1 level more or less than the previous line
- Set the new
multilevelsetting toTRUEin aruleset.xmlfile to enable this behaviour - Thanks to Marcos Passos for the patch
PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacingnow allows whitespace after the opening parenthesis if followed by a comment- Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
PSR2.Classes.PropertyDeclarationnow enforces a single space after a property type keyword- The PSR2 standard itself excludes this new check as it is not defined in the written standard
- Using the PSR12 standard will enforce this check
Squiz.Commenting.BlockCommentno longer requires blank line before comment if it's the first content after the PHP open tag- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacingnow has more accurate error messages- This includes renaming the
SpaceAfterDefaulterror code toSpaceAfterEquals, which reflects the real error
- This includes renaming the
Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacingnow checks for no space after a reference operator- If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the
SpacingAfterReferenceerror message in a ruleset.xml file
- If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the
Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacingnow checks for no space after a variadic operator- If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the
SpacingAfterVariadicerror message in aruleset.xmlfile
- If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the
Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclarationnow has improved fixing for theFirstParamSpacingandUseFirstParamSpacingerrorsSquiz.Operators.IncrementDecrementUsagenow suggests pre-increment of variables instead of post-increment- This change does not enforce pre-increment over post-increment; only the suggestion has changed
- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignmentsnow has a second error code for when assignments are found inside control structure conditions- The new error code is
Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments.FoundInControlStructure - All other multiple assignment cases use the existing error code
Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments.Found - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The new error code is
Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacingnow appliesbeforeFirstandafterLastspacing rules to nested functions- Previously, these rules only applied to the first and last function in a class, interface, or trait
- These rules now apply to functions nested in any statement block, including other functions and conditions
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacingnow has improved handling of parse errors- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacingnow checks spacing around theinstanceofoperator- Thanks to Jakub Chábek for the patch
Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacingcan now enforce a single space before assignment operators- Previously, the sniff this spacing as multiple assignment operators are sometimes aligned
- Now, you can set the
ignoreSpacingBeforeAssignmentssniff property toFALSEto enable checking - Default remains
TRUE, so spacing before assignments is not checked by default - Thanks to Jakub Chábek for the patch
