How do I enforce coding standards with CI?

Enforcing coding standards through Continuous Integration (CI) is crucial for maintaining code quality and consistency across your projects. By integrating tools that check for coding standards into your CI pipeline, you can automatically analyze your codebase and ensure adherence to specified guidelines. This practice helps in preventing code style issues before they reach production.

Example of Enforcing Coding Standards in CI

// Example of a CI configuration file that uses PHPCS to enforce coding standards version: '2' jobs: lint: docker: - image: php:7.4 steps: - run: name: Install Composer and PHP_CodeSniffer command: | curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*" - run: name: Run PHP_CodeSniffer command: | $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=PSR12 ./src
