Added

Universal

• 🔧 📚 New Universal.Arrays.DisallowShortArraySyntax sniff to disallow short array syntax. #40
  In contrast to the PHPCS native Generic.Arrays.DisallowShortArraySyntax sniff, this sniff will ignore short list syntax and not cause parse errors when the fixer is used.
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.Constants.UppercaseMagicConstants sniff to enforce that PHP native magic constants are in uppercase. #64
• 📊 📚 New Universal.Namespaces.DisallowDeclarationWithoutName sniff to disallow namespace declarations without a namespace name. #50
• 📊 📚 New Universal.Operators.DisallowLogicalAndOr sniff to enforce the use of the boolean && and || operators instead of the logical and/or operators. #52
  Note: as the operator precedence of the logical operators is significantly lower than the operator precedence of boolean operators, this sniff does not contain an auto-fixer.
• 📊 📚 New Universal.Operators.DisallowShortTernary sniff to disallow the use of short ternaries ?:. #42
  While short ternaries are useful when used correctly, the principle of them is often misunderstood and they are more often than not used incorrectly, leading to hard to debug issues and/or PHP warnings/notices.
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.Operators.DisallowStandalonePostIncrementDecrement sniff disallow the use of post-in/decrements in stand-alone statements and discourage the use of multiple increment/decrement operators in a stand-alone statement. #65
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.Operators.StrictComparisons sniff to enforce the use of strict comparisons. #48
  Warning: the auto-fixer for this sniff may cause bugs in applications and should be used with care! This is considered a risky fixer.
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.OOStructures.AlphabeticExtendsImplements sniff to verify that the names used in a class "implements" statement or an interface "extends" statement are listed in alphabetic order. #55
  • This sniff contains a public orderby property to determine the sort order to use for the statement.
    If all names used are unqualified, the sort order won't make a difference.
    However, if one or more of the names are partially or fully qualified, the chosen sort order will determine how the sorting between unqualified, partially and fully qualified names is handled.
    The sniff supports two sort order options:
    • 'name' : sort by the interface name only (default);
    • 'full' : sort by the full name as used in the statement (without leading backslash).
      In both cases, the sorting will be done using natural sort, case-insensitive.
  • The sniff has modular error codes to allow for selective inclusion/exclusion:
    • ImplementsWrongOrder - for "class implements" statements.
    • ImplementsWrongOrderWithComments - for "class implements" statements interlaced with comments. These will not be auto-fixed.
    • ExtendsWrongOrder - for "interface extends" statements.
    • ExtendsWrongOrderWithComments - for "interface extends" statements interlaced with comments. These will not be auto-fixed.
  • When fixing, the existing spacing between the names in an implements/extends statement will not be maintained.
    The fixer will separate each name with a comma and one space.
    If alternative formatting is desired, a sniff which will check and fix the formatting should be added to the ruleset.
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.UseStatements.LowercaseFunctionConst sniff to enforce that function and const keywords when used in an import use statement are always lowercase. #58
• 🔧 📊 📚 New Universal.UseStatements.NoLeadingBackslash sniff to verify that a name being imported in an import use statement does not start with a leading backslash. #46
  Names in import use statements should always be fully qualified, so a leading backslash is not needed and it is strongly recommended not to use one.
  This sniff handles all types of import use statements supported by PHP, in contrast to other sniffs for the same in, for instance, the PSR12 or the Slevomat standard, which are incomplete.
• 🔧 📚 New Universal.WhiteSpace.DisallowInlineTabs sniff to enforce using spaces for mid-line alignment. #43
