Drupal Coding standard (Drupal and DrupalPractice) Setup

 Hello Drupalers,

Hope all are good and healthy.

Today we are going to discuss about how we can keep our code according the Drupal coding standard. While we write any code we keep logics according the functionality but its also important to write code according the standard.

Now Question is how we can check our code is according to standard or not. So in Drupal we usually check according the Drupal and DrupalPractice Coding Standard.

First we have to install and setup phpcs and phcbf in our local repo.

 composer create-project drupal/recommended-project drupal_contrib  
 composer require drupal/coder dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer  
 vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths vendor/drupal/coder/coder_sniffer/  
 vendor/bin/phpcs -i  

 

we have to run all phpcs commands from vendor/bin/phpcs because we are setting up standards with local repo.

after setup Drupal and DrupalPractice standard install need to check the installed version.
To check installed version run 

The installed coding standards are PSR2, Squiz, PSR1, Zend, MySource, PEAR, PSR12, Drupal, DrupalPractice and VariableAnalysis

That's it if you find the Drupal and DrupalPractice in installed version you can use the to check your code accordingly.

Commands to check code according the Drupal Standard.

 vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal web/modules/contrib/<Module_name>  
 vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=Drupal web/modules/contrib/<Module_name>  
 vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=DrupalPractice web/modules/contrib/<Module_name>
