PHP_CodeSniffer ruleset used at brainbits. It is based on the Doctrine Coding Standard (which includes the Slevomat Coding Standard), relaxes a few of its rules and adds a custom sniff.

Requires PHP 8.4 or newer and PHP_CodeSniffer 4. The name of the standard is Brainbits.

Disabled rules:

• Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment.NotSame – assignments don't need to be aligned
• Generic.Formatting.SpaceAfterNot.Incorrect – no space required after !
• Squiz.Arrays.ArrayDeclaration.MultiLineNotAllowed – multi-line arrays with a single item are allowed

Additional rules:

• Brainbits.Exception.GlobalException – forbids throw new with PHP's built-in global exceptions (\Exception, \ErrorException and the SPL exceptions like \RuntimeException, \InvalidArgumentException, …). Only direct throw new … statements are checked. Extend the exceptions in your own namespace instead:

  // error
  throw new \RuntimeException('Not found');
  
  // ok
  final class NotFound extends \RuntimeException {}
  throw new NotFound('Not found');
