Question 1

How to integrate Magento Coding Standard with my IDE like PHPStorm?

Accepted Answer

You need to configure PHP_CodeSniffer in your IDE to use the Magento2 standard; this often involves setting the path to the installed standard in IDE settings, but detailed steps vary per editor and aren't fully covered in the README.

Question 2

Can Magento Coding Standard automatically fix all code violations?

Accepted Answer

No, PHPCBF can fix many common violations, but some rules require manual intervention, as indicated by warnings in the output. The tool is best for automation but not a complete replacement for code reviews.

Question 3

Is Magento Coding Standard compatible with Magento 1?

Accepted Answer

No, it's specifically designed for Magento 2, as stated in the description. For Magento 1, you'd need alternative or custom coding standards, which aren't provided by this project.

Question 4

Magento Coding Standard vs PSR standards: which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use Magento Coding Standard for Magento 2 projects to adhere to platform-specific conventions; PSR standards are general PHP guidelines. They can complement each other, but Magento's rules take precedence for compatibility.

Question 5

How to disable certain rules in Magento Coding Standard?

Accepted Answer

You can customize rulesets by creating a custom phpcs.xml file in your project, allowing you to exclude or modify specific rules, though the README doesn't detail this—refer to PHP_CodeSniffer documentation.

Question 6

What's the performance impact of running Magento Coding Standard in CI/CD?

Accepted Answer

It can slow down builds, especially on large codebases, due to extensive rule checks. Optimize by running it only on changed files or caching results, but this requires additional setup not covered in the README.
