7 New Features in Easy Coding Standard 2.2

2017-08-07

Today we'll look on new features it uses from ECS.

1. Shorter Bin

# before
vendor/bin/easy-coding-standard

# now
vendor/bin/ecs

2. Prepared Rule Sets

Before you had to name all the checkers manually in your config. There was no PSR2 group nor Symfony like there is in other tools. Now you can pick from 10 prepared configs.

PHP_CodeSniffer + PHP CS Fixer

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\Configurator\ContainerConfigurator;
use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Option;
use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Set\SetList;

return function (ContainerConfigurator $containerConfigurator): void {
    $containerConfigurator->import(SetList::PSR_12);
    $containerConfigurator->import(SetList::COMMON);
    $containerConfigurator->import(SetList::SYMPLIFY);
    // ...
    // explore the constants on `SetList` class
};

3. Use Whole Set But 1 Checker

Imagine you love the PSR-12 set, except that 1 checker. Do you skip the set completely or copy all the rules manually except the one?

Not anymore!

use PhpCsFixer\Fixer\Operator\UnaryOperatorSpacesFixer;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\Configurator\ContainerConfigurator;
use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Option;
use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Set\SetList;

return function (ContainerConfigurator $containerConfigurator): void {
    $containerConfigurator->import(SetList::PSR_12);

    $parameters = $containerConfigurator->parameters();
    $parameters->set(Option::SKIP, [
        // ignore 1 rule everywhere
        UnaryOperatorSpacesFixer::class => null,
    ]);
};

4. Skip More Than 1 File For Specific Checker

Do you need to skip more files for 1 specific checker? Now you can fnmatch pattern:

use SlevomatCodingStandard\Sniffs\TypeHints\TypeHintDeclarationSniff;

// ...
$parameters->set(Option::SKIP, [
    TypeHintDeclarationSniff::class => [
        '*packages/CodingStandard/src/Sniffs/*/*Sniff.php'
    ],
]);

5. New Command Show Display Used Checkers

Do you know, what checkers do you use?

vendor/bin/ecs show

This is rather debug or info tool, but it might come handy.

You can find more options of this command in README.

6. Scan *.php and *.phpt Files

EasyCodingStandard checks only *.php files by default. But what if you want to check *.phpt as well as in case of Nette\CodingStandard?

Use Option::FILE_EXTENSIONS:

// ...
$parameters->set(Option::FILE_EXTENSIONS, ['php', 'phpt']);

7. Are you Tabs Person?

There you go:

// ...
$parameters->set(Option::INDENTATION, Option::INDENTATION_TAB);
