Please improve documentation.
Already install the package but dont know how to use it, when not in global require.

I installed globally via composer

Getting the error below when I try to run with Laravel Standard

ERROR: the "~/.composer/vendor/pragmarx/laravelcs/Standards/Laravel" coding standard is not installed. The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PHPCS, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend

Just running phpcs works fine.

As Laravel 5 using PSR-2 , this package is out-of-date.

I am using the standard installed globally, but for some reason, it is expecting tabs to indent code instead of the 4 spaces defined in the https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md that is followed by Laravel.

This is the command I am using
phpcs --standard=$HOME/.composer/vendor/pragmarx/laravelcs/Standards/Laravel/ app/Http/Controllers/ParentController.php

See output

FILE: ...grant/code/mykidsmoola/app/Http/Controllers/ParentController.php

PHPCBF CAN FIX THE 10 MARKED SNIFF VIOLATIONS AUTOMATICALLY

Time: 39ms; Memory: 4Mb`

Is it correct that the following is not correct? (To mungle grammar at this early hour!)

/**
 * Comment about a thing.
 */

There is a single space at the beginning of the second two lines, before the asterisks.

if (true) {
    // some code
}

throws an error

53 | ERROR | [x] Expected 1 new line after closing parenthesis; | | found " "

When trying to use this standard with PHPCS 3.5.4 and PHP 8.1.5 installed globally on my system, the following error occurs - this error doesn't get triggered when using any other standards:

phpcs: Uncaught Error: Interface "PHP_CodeSniffer_Sniff" not found in .../Standards/Laravel/Sniffs/Tabs/DisallowWhitespaceIndentSniff.php:12

Just wondering how you can tweak the set of rules to custom them as you want? I found the rules used, but would like to avoid to modify this file, and maybe use a simpler format for your rules (javascript linting or pep8 style)

The most recent PHPCS is not supported in this repo, also there are PSR2 clashes with the repo. The current repo does not support PHP 7 return type Hinting, which was fixed in the last year in PHPCS >=3.0.1.
Code example of type hinting.
protected static function buildSeleniumProcess() : Process { //some code here }
Also when using routes file Squiz does not like function closures.
`Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');

<- error here disallow whitespace indent

[tab]});`

<- squiz.whitespace and laravel.tabs disallow whitespace clash.

Use of undefined constant T_DOC_XXXXXXXXXX - assumed 'T_DOC_XXXXXX'

I am getting a lot of these errors when running the command. They come from different files located under /vendor/pragmarx/laravelcs/Standards/Laravel/Sniffs/

I am unable to install this globally using composer, because I need to deploy it at build time on a continuous integration server. So, I have added it to the composer.json file for the laravel project.

I call it like this

phpcs --standard=./vendor/pragmarx/laravelcs/Standards/Laravel /path/to/laravel

I am running
PHP 5.5.22-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 (cli) (built: Feb 20 2015 11:25:27)

Thanks!

Hi, when I tried to install I got this error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

Now, what do I do?

Hello,

Looks like this package is not being maintained. I've found documentation pointing to Laravael 4.2 which uses and old coding standard in comparison con current version 6.0.

It'd be nice to reference this repository for an up to date version of this coding standard ruleset.

Hi there:

I am getting a fatal error when attempting to use your standard while running phpcs from the command line.

Here is the command I'm using:

$  phpcs --standard=Laravel /Users/govinda/Sites/mysite/app/Models/Blog.php

PHP Fatal error:  Interface 'PHP_CodeSniffer_Sniff' not found in /Users/govinda/.composer/vendor/pragmarx/laravelcs/Standards/Laravel/Sniffs/ControlStructures/ControlSignatureSniff.php on line 12

In contrast, phpcs seems to work fine with PSR2. For example, the following command outputs normally:

$  phpcs --standard=PSR2 /Users/govinda/Sites/mysite/app/Models/Blog.php

Some of my system info:

PHP_CodeSniffer version 3.1.1 (stable) by Squiz (http://www.squiz.net)
PEAR Version: 1.10.5
PHP Version: 7.1.8
Zend Engine Version: 3.1.0

Is this is a namespace issue?

Nice! Please add the following to README.md to make Laravel the default standard.
Link (or copy) Laravel into the global CodeSniffer directory.
Mac OSX Homebrew example:
ln -s LaravelCodeSniffer/Standards/Laravel/ /usr/local/etc/php-code-sniffer/Standards/
Set Laravel as default:
phpcs --config-set default_standard Laravel
