README

Cierra QA (quality assurance) is a simple package that includes code quality tools in your project.
QA-Tools that will be integrated into your project:

• PHP_CodeSniffer
• Larastan

Furthermore, it will create a GitHub workflow file to your project under .github/workflows that runs QA tools on pull requests.

Installation

First, you may use Composer to install Cierra QA to your project:

composer require --dev cierrateam/cierra-qa

To copy the QA files to your project, you have to run the following command:

php artisan cierra-qa:install

This command will create a .qa folder into your root project with configuration files for PHP_CodeSniffer and Larastan.
It will also create a code-quality.yml file into .github/workflows directory and a Makefile into the root of your project.

❗️ Make sure to save your old Makefile if there exists one.

Configuration

You can update the configuration/rules files in the .qa for your project so that it has your standards.
❗ Please update the php-version in the code-quality.yml with the version you use for your project so that the QA-tools will use the correct PHP version on pull-request.

By default, the QA tools use the /app directory for analyzing. You can change the default path in the Makefile under PHP_FILES.
The default phpstan level is 5. You can update it also in the Makefile under PHPSTAN_LEVEL.

Usage

After installing and configuring the QA tools at your convenience, you can use PHP_CodeSniffer and Larastan very quickly with the Makefile shortcut.

• use make phpcs to run PHP_CodeSniffer for the /app folder.
• use make phpstan to run Larastan for the /app folder.

❗ You can change the path that you want to analyze and the phpstan level in the Makefile under PHP_FILES and PHPSTAN_LEVEL or provide the path directly with the make command: make phpstan LEVEL=3 FILES="foo/bar/baz.php foo/bar/foo.php"

If you don't want to analyze the whole project files under app you can also check only the changed files.
Run git add . and then make phpcs-quick or make phpstan-quick.

PHPSTORM

Under .dev/ide/phpstorm/settings is a code styling file stored which can be imported to your PHPStorm ide under Preferences --> Editor --> Code Style.
