PHP-CS-Fixer

PHP Coding Standards Fixer
==========================

The PHP Coding Standards Fixer tool fixes *most* issues in your code when you
want to follow the PHP coding standards as defined in the PSR-1 and PSR-2
documents and many more.

If you are already using a linter to identify coding standards problems in your
code, you know that fixing them by hand is tedious, especially on large
projects. This tool does not only detect them, but also fixes them for you.

Requirements
------------

PHP needs to be a minimum version of PHP 5.3.6.

Installation
------------

Locally
~~~~~~~

Download the `php-cs-fixer.phar`_ file and store it somewhere on your computer.

Globally (manual)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can run these commands to easily access ``php-cs-fixer`` from anywhere on
your system:

.. code-block:: bash

$ wget https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/releases/download/v1.12.2/php-cs-fixer.phar -O php-cs-fixer

or with curl:

.. code-block:: bash

$ curl -L https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/releases/download/v1.12.2/php-cs-fixer.phar -o php-cs-fixer

then:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo chmod a+x php-cs-fixer
$ sudo mv php-cs-fixer /usr/local/bin/php-cs-fixer

Then, just run ``php-cs-fixer``.

Globally (Composer)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To install PHP CS Fixer, install Composer and issue the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

$ ./composer.phar global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Then make sure you have ``~/.composer/vendor/bin`` in your ``PATH`` and
you're good to go:

.. code-block:: bash

$ export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"

Globally (homebrew)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PHP-CS-Fixer is part of the homebrew-php project. Follow the installation
instructions at https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-php if you don't
already have it.

.. code-block:: bash

$ brew install homebrew/php/php-cs-fixer

Update
------

Locally
~~~~~~~

The ``self-update`` command tries to update ``php-cs-fixer`` itself:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar self-update

Globally (manual)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can update ``php-cs-fixer`` through this command:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo php-cs-fixer self-update

Globally (Composer)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can update ``php-cs-fixer`` through this command:

.. code-block:: bash

$ ./composer.phar global update friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Globally (homebrew)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can update ``php-cs-fixer`` through this command:

.. code-block:: bash

$ brew upgrade php-cs-fixer

Usage
-----

The ``fix`` command tries to fix as much coding standards
problems as possible on a given file or files in a given directory and its subdirectories:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/dir
$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/file

The ``--format`` option for the output format. Supported formats are ``txt`` (default one), ``json``, ``xml`` and ``junit``.

NOTE: When using ``junit`` format report generates in accordance with JUnit xml schema from Jenkins (see docs/junit-10.xsd).

The ``--verbose`` option will show the applied fixers. When using the ``txt`` format it will also displays progress notifications.

The ``--rules`` option limits the rules to apply on the
project:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/project --rules=@PSR2

By default, all PSR fixers are run.

The ``--rules`` option lets you choose the exact fixers to
apply (the fixer names must be separated by a comma):

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/dir --rules=unix_line_endings,full_opening_tag,no_tab_indentation

You can also blacklist the fixers you don't want by placing a dash in front of the fixer name, if this is more convenient,
using ``-name_of_fixer``:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/dir --rules=-full_opening_tag,-no_tab_indentation

When using combinations of exact and blacklist fixers, applying exact fixers along with above blacklisted results:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/project --rules=@Symfony,-@PSR1,-blank_line_before_return,strict_comparison

A combination of ``--dry-run`` and ``--diff`` will
display a summary of proposed fixes, leaving your files unchanged.

The ``--allow-risky`` option allows you to set whether riskys fixer may run. Default value is taken from config file.
Risky fixer is a fixer, which could change code behaviour. By default no risky fixers are run.

The command can also read from standard input, in which case it won't
automatically fix anything:

.. code-block:: bash

$ cat foo.php | php php-cs-fixer.phar fix --diff -

The ``--dry-run`` option displays the files that need to be
fixed but without actually modifying them:

.. code-block:: bash

$ php php-cs-fixer.phar fix /path/to/code --dry-run

Instead of using command line options to customize the fixer, you can save the
project configuration in a ``.php_cs.dist`` file in the root directory
of your project. The file must return an instance of ``PhpCsFixer\ConfigInterface``,
which lets you configure the rules, the files and directories that
need to be analyzed. You may also create ``.php_cs`` file, which is
the local configuration that will be used instead of the project configuration. It
is a good practice to add that file into your ``.gitignore`` file.
With the ``--config`` option you can specify the path to the
``.php_cs`` file.

The example below will add two fixers to the default list of PSR2 set fixers:

.. code-block:: php


$finder = PhpCsFixer\Finder::create()
->exclude('somedir')
->notPath('src/Symfony/Component/Translation/Tests/fixtures/resources.php')
->in(__DIR__)
;

return PhpCsFixer\Config::create()
->setRules(array(
'@PSR2' => true,
'strict_param' => true,
'short_array_syntax' => true,
))
->finder($finder)
;

**NOTE**: ``exclude`` will work only for directories, so if you need to exclude file, try ``notPath``.

See `Symfony\\Finder `_
online documentation for other `Finder` methods.

You may also use a blacklist for the Fixers instead of the above shown whitelist approach.
The following example shows how to use all ``Symfony`` Fixers but the ``full_opening_tag`` Fixer.

.. code-block:: php


$finder = PhpCsFixer\Finder::create()
->exclude('somedir')
->in(__DIR__)
;

return PhpCsFixer\Config::create()
->setRules(array(
'@Symfony' => true,
'full_opening_tag' => false,
))
->finder($finder)
;

By using ``--using-cache`` option with yes or no you can set if the caching
mechanism should be used.

Caching
-------

The caching mechanism is enabled by default. This will speed up further runs by
fixing only files that were modified since the last run. The tool will fix all
files if the tool version has changed or the list of fixers has changed.
Cache is supported only for tool downloaded as phar file or installed via
composer.

Cache can be disabled via ``--using-cache`` option or config file:

.. code-block:: php


return PhpCsFixer\Config::create()
->setUsingCache(false)
;

Cache file can be specified via ``--cache-file`` option or config file:

.. code-block:: php


return PhpCsFixer\Config::create()
->setCacheFile(__DIR__.'/.php_cs.cache')
;

Using PHP CS Fixer on CI
------------------------

Require ``friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer`` as a `dev`` dependency:

.. code-block:: bash

$ ./composer.phar require --dev friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Then, add the following command to your CI:

.. code-block:: bash

$ vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --config=.php_cs.dist -v --dry-run --using-cache=no --path-mode=intersection `git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMRTUXB $COMMIT_RANGE`

Where ``$COMMIT_RANGE`` is your range of commits, eg ``$TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE`` or ``HEAD~..HEAD``.

Exit codes
----------

Exit code is build using following bit flags:

* 0 OK
* 4 Some files have invalid syntax (only in dry-run mode)
* 8 Some files need fixing (only in dry-run mode)
* 16 Configuration error of the application
* 32 Configuration error of a Fixer
* 64 Exception raised within the application

Helpers
-------

Dedicated plugins exist for:

* `Atom`_
* `NetBeans`_
* `PhpStorm`_
* `Sublime Text`_
* `Vim`_

Contribute
----------

The tool comes with quite a few built-in fixers and finders, but everyone is
more than welcome to `contribute`_ more of them.

Fixers
~~~~~~

A *fixer* is a class that tries to fix one CS issue (a ``Fixer`` class must
implement ``FixerInterface``).

Configs
~~~~~~~

A *config* knows about the CS rules and the files and directories that must be
scanned by the tool when run in the directory of your project. It is useful for
projects that follow a well-known directory structures (like for Symfony
projects for instance).
