Event Espresso Coding Standards

EventEspresso Coding Standards (EventEspressoCS) is a project with rulesets for code style and quality tools to be used in Event Espresso php projects.

Installation

Standalone

Standards are provided as Composer package and can be installed with:

composer create-project eventespresso/ee-coding-standards:dev-master

Composer will automatically install dependencies, register standards paths, and set default PHP Code Sniffer standard to EventEspresso.

---

As dependency

To include standards as part of a project require them as development dependencies:

composer require eventespresso/ee-coding-standards:dev-master --dev

Note that Composer won't run configuration scripts in this scenario and the root project needs to take care of it.
