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 %*
