How to extend PHP code sniffer standards?

This implementation was tested and working perfectly on VsCode.

Before implementation

PHP coding standards need to be installed and working.

Change the settings in VsCode

Go to Code -> Preferences -> Settings -> [find: phpcs] -> Phpcs: Standard -> Edit in settings.json Click on that and change the line

"phpcs.standard": "PSR12" into "phpcs.standard": "~/phpcs-custom/DmytrosCustomCodeStyleStandard/ruleset.xml"

Create ruleset

Create a folder

touch ~/phpcs-custom/DmytrosCustomCodeStyleStandard/ruleset.xml

Inside the content of ruleset.xml copy ruleset.xml from root of this repo

Create sniffs

Ruleset already extends default PSR12 standards and has 2 additional sniffs

• RequireReturnType
• RequireArgumentType

These sniffs are inside sniffs folder.

Happy Codding.
