WP Engine Coding Standards (WPECS) uses Composer to install these main dependencies:

• PHP_Codesniffer (PHPCS)
• WordPress Coding Standards

If you're using Homebrew on Mac, you can install Composer with: brew install composer. Otherwise, follow the official installation instructions for Composer.

1. Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone git@github.com:newscorp-ghfb/dj-wp-phpcs-ruleset.git
cd dj-wp-phpcs-ruleset
composer install

2. Link your coding standards to your phpcs installation:

phpcs --config-set installed_paths /path/to/dj-wp-phpcs-ruleset

You can also install the coding standards as a dependency in your local project. Here's how

1. Add the following repository to your composer.json

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "git@github.com:newscorp-ghfb/dj-wp-phpcs-ruleset.git"
    }
  ]
}

2. Manually add the following to require-dev in composer.json

{
  "newscorp/dj-wp-phpcs-ruleset": "dev-master"
}

3. Run composer install or composer update to ensure your project is configured.

4. You can now use DJ-WordPress-CMS in any IDE that uses the local phpcs. If you already have a phpcs.xml in your project, simply add the following to it:

 <rule ref="DJ-WordPress-CMS"/>

Run the phpcs command line tool on a given file or directory, for example:

phpcs --standard=DJ-WordPress-CMS wp-load.php
