PHP_CodeSniffer

PHP_CodeSniffer <https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer> is a set of two PHP scripts; the main phpcs script that tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard, and a second phpcbf script to automatically correct coding standard violations. PHP_CodeSniffer is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent.

Phpactor can use PHP_CodeSniffer to:

• format your code via the LSP textDocument/formatting action,

• provide diagnostics for potential fixes,

To do so you set php_code_sniffer.enabled:

$ phpactor config:set php_code_sniffer.enabled true

• Specify the path to phpcs if different to /vendor/bin/phpcs via. php_code_sniffer.bin.
