[ECS] allow easy-coding-standard.yml

Allow easy-coding-standard.yml for those, who preffer yml and don't want Neon Plugin + autocomplete

Hi Tomas,
I respect your choice of the configuration file format, but wouldn't you reconsider adding this feature as an option?

I was just considering using ECS to define our codestyle, but for us, neon format is no-go - we don't want yet another format, which will be used for codestyle config only, while everything else we use is configured by yaml (symfony), json (composer, npm, ...) or XML (PHPUnit, PHPCS).

What is your opinion?

Hi Ondra,

thanks for reaching out. I was thinking about this more and more while presenting ECS to Symfony world.
After few discussions, I came to conclusing having an option is nice to have. So why not? :)

I don't want to implement it myself, but if anyone would take this issue to solve, it would require to add yaml/neon differentiation to AppKernel, where .neon is default.

And note to README of course.

@OndraM I'm thinking of this again. I'm missing one last thing to make this happen.

As I'm not using Symfony in whole application often, I don't know how to achieve class autocomplete in .yml files. I've seen that Symfony Plugin can autocomplete types based on containers or something like that. But that's not it, I need all classes.

But I need this in .yml file:

Any ideas?

@enumag @mssimi @grogy @greg0ire Do you know about solution to comment above?

[TomasVotruba]

Moving further... so Plugin needs to be enabled per project manualy ✔️

Autocomplete then starts working, but only for the old Symfony 2.x style, not just the class 🚫

It still doesn't work for other sections then services, like checkers, but that could be worked on a bit.

I asked for this feature at Symfony Plugin: Haehnchen/idea-php-symfony2-plugin#1153

I don't have class autocomplete in yml either and I am not even sure what should be App Directory(Symfony plugin config) for flex.

[enumag]

Sadly yaml autocompletion for classes is unreliable in many cases. I don't know any solution.

[foxycode]

What about not adding yaml to ECS but reather add neon to Symfony and lobbing for it as default format? :)

[TomasVotruba]

@foxycode Go for it ;) I'll resolve this issue in the meantime by #651

[TomasVotruba]

I found a way for service autocomplete in Yaml to work!

So simple 🤦‍♂️ 🌴
