• Maintaining consistent code style is crucial in team development

• Configure PSR12 style in PHPStorm
  • File -> Settings -> Editor-> Code Style -> Set from -> select PSR12

Using PHP_CodeSniffer for Code Style Checks

• Create phpcs.xml in project root for team-wide usage

• Configuration notes:

  • Official documentation is limited - often requires debugging error messages
  • Example: To disable end xxx() comments:
    1. Search source code for //end
    2. Locate PHP_CodeSniffer\Standards\Squiz\Sniffs\Commenting::ClosingDeclarationCommentSniff
    3. Remove <rule ref="Squiz.Commenting.ClosingDeclarationComment"/> from config

Static Analysis with phpstan

• Create phpstan.neon configuration in project root

Workflow Implementation

1. Team members work on feature branches
2. Merge to dev branch triggers git hook
3. Stage server performs:
   • PHPUnit tests
   • PHPCS style checks (with phpcbf auto-fix)
   • PHPStan static analysis
4. Successful checks trigger merge to master; failures trigger notifications

Configuration Notes

• For containerized testing:
  • Share host machine’s SSH credentials:

  volumes:
      # Share Git credentials
      - /root/.ssh:/home/laradock/.ssh
  

• Ensure proper permissions for SSH directory access
