Theme Sniffer

Description

Theme Sniffer is a plugin utilizing custom sniffs for PHP_CodeSniffer that statically analyzes your theme and ensures that it adheres to WordPress coding conventions, as well as checking your code against PHP version compatibility.

Requirements

The Theme Sniffer requires:

  • PHP 7.0 or higher.
  • WordPress 4.7 or higher.

Installation - development

For themes development and checking

  • Download zip file. Note: Please use this distribution plugin zip. GitHub provided zip will not work.
  • Install this as you normally install a WordPress plugin
  • Activate plugin

For Theme Sniffer development

  • Clone this repository under wp-content/plugins/
  • Run composer install
  • Run npm install
  • Run npm run build
  • Activate plugin

On Windows

  • When developing on Windows machine you might run into various issues with CLI when not installed globally. Installing following items globally might help, but use it with caution:

    • Run npm install --global eslint-cli
    • Run npm install --global stylelint
    • Run composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*" & make sure that you have installed WordPress Coding Standards and PHPCompatibility by running phpcs -i. When PHPCS installed globally, you might need clone both repositories and add them to PHPCS with phpcs --config-set installed_paths /path/to/PHPCompatibility,/path/to/wpcs

Note: If you build the plugin this way you'll have extra node_modules/ folders which are not required for the plugin to run, and just take up space. They are to be used for the development purposes mainly. Some of the vendor/ folders are necessary for Theme Sniffer to run

  • Ignore annotations - Ignores any comment annotation that might disable the sniff
  • Check only PHP files - Only checks PHP files, not CSS and JS - use this to prevent any possible memory leaks
  • Minimum PHP version - Select the minimum PHP Version to check if your theme will work with that version

Development

Development prerequisites:

All of the development asset files are located in the assets/dev/ folder. We have refactored the plugin to use the latest JavaScript development methods. This is why we are using webpack to bundle our assets.

When wanting to add a new feature fork the plugin. If you are a maintainer create a feature/* branch.

To start developing, first clone this repo under wp-content/plugins/. Then run in the terminal:

composer install npm install

Then you can run:

npm run start

This will run webpack in the watch mode, so your changes will be saved in the build folder on the fly. After you're done making changes, run:

npm run build

This will create the assets/build/ folder with js and css files that the plugin will use.

When developing JavaScript code keep in mind the separation of concerns principle - data access and business logic should be separate from the presentation. If you 'sniff' (no pun intended) through the js code, you'll see that index.js holds all event triggers and calls the method for sniff start that is located in the separate ThemeSniffer class. Business logic modules should contain plain JavaScript (no framework), which makes it reusable. Of course, there is still room for imporvement, so if you notice something that could be improved we incurage you to make a PR.

The same is valid for PHP code. The business logic is stored in the src/ folder, the JS and CSS are located in assets/ folder and the views are located in the views/ folder.
