Pattern: Inconsistent block control structure spacing

Issue: -

Description

Enforces configurable number of lines around block control structures (if, foreach, ...).

Rule provides the following settings:

• linesCountBefore: allows to configure the number of lines before control structure.
• linesCountBeforeFirst: allows to configure the number of lines before first control structure.
• linesCountAfter: allows to configure the number of lines after control structure.
• linesCountAfterLast: allows to configure the number of lines after last control structure.
• controlStructures: allows to narrow the list of checked control structures.

For example, with the following setting, only if and switch keywords are checked.

<rule ref="SlevomatCodingStandard.ControlStructures.BlockControlStructureSpacing">
	<properties>
		<property name="controlStructures" type="array">
			<element value="if"/>
			<element value="switch"/>
		</property>
	</properties>
</rule>
