Nette Code Checker

The tool called Code Checker checks and optionally repairs some of the formal errors in your source code.

Installation

Code Checker should be installed as a project, not added as a dependency.

composer create-project nette/code-checker

Or install it globally via:

composer global require nette/code-checker

and make sure your global vendor binaries directory is in your $PATH environment variable.

Usage

Usage: php code-checker [options] Options:	-d <path> Folder or file to scan (default: current directory)	-i | --ignore <mask> Files to ignore	-f | --fix Fixes files	-l | --eol Convert newline characters	--no-progress Do not show progress dots	--strict-types Checks whether PHP 7.0 directive strict_types is enabled

Without parameters, it checks the current working directory in read-only mode; with the -f parameter, it fixes files.

Before you get familiar with the tool, be sure to back up your files first.

You can create a batch file, e.g., code.bat, for easier execution of Code Checker under Windows:

php path_to\Nette_tools\Code-Checker\code-checker %*
