# Use tabs for indentation
RSS-Bridge uses tabs for indentation on all PHP files in the repository (except files located in the `vendor` directory)
_Reference_: [`Generic.WhiteSpace.DisallowSpaceIndent`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/WhiteSpace/DisallowSpaceIndentSniff.php)
# Add spaces around the concatenation operator
The concatenation operator should have one space on both sides in order to improve readability.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$text = $greeting.' '.$name.'!';
```
**Good** (add spaces)
```PHP
$text = $greeting . ' ' . $name . '!';
```
</div></details><br>
You may break long lines into multiple lines using the concatenation operator. That way readability can improve considerable when combining lots of variables.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$text = $greeting.' '.$name.'!';
```
**Good** (split into multiple lines)
```PHP
$text = $greeting
. ' '
. $name
. '!';
```
</div></details><br>

# Maximum line length
One line of code should have no more than **80 characters** (soft limit) and must never exceed **120 characters** (hard limit).
_Notice_: Travis-CI enforces the hard limit of 120 characters. Maintainers may ask you to indent lines longer than 80 characters before merging. This is generally done to keep the code as readable and maintainable as possible.
For long conditional statements, consider indenting the statement into multiple lines.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad** (the total length of the line is **94** characters)
```PHP
if($time !== false && (time() - $duration < $time) && (!defined('DEBUG') || DEBUG !== true)) {
}
```
**Good** (add line breaks)
```PHP
if($time !== false
&& (time() - $duration < $time)
&& (!defined('DEBUG') || DEBUG !== true)) {
}
```
</div></details><br>
For long text, either add line feeds, or make use of the [`heredoc`](http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc) syntax.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad** (the total length of the line is **340** characters - from [Lorem Ipsum](https://www.lipsum.com/feed/html))
```PHP
$longtext = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse condimentum nec est eget posuere. Proin at sagittis risus. Fusce faucibus lectus leo, eu ornare velit tristique eu. Curabitur elementum facilisis ultricies. Praesent dictum fermentum lectus a rhoncus. Donec vitae justo metus. Sed molestie faucibus egestas.';
```
**Good** (use `heredoc` syntax - this will add line-breaks)
```PHP
$longtext = <<<EOD
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse
condimentum nec est eget posuere. Proin at sagittis risus. Fusce faucibus
lectus leo, eu ornare velit tristique eu. Curabitur elementum facilisis
ultricies. Praesent dictum fermentum lectus a rhoncus. Donec vitae justo metus.
Sed molestie faucibus egestas.
EOD;
```

# Calling functions
Function calls must follow a few rules in order to maintain readability throughout the project:
**Do not add whitespace before the opening parenthesis**
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$result = my_function ($param);
```
**Good**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param);
```
</div></details><br>
**Do not add whitespace after the opening parenthesis**
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$result = my_function( $param);
```
**Good**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param);
```
</div></details><br>
**Do not add a space before the closing parenthesis**
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param );
```
**Good**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param);
```
</div></details><br>
**Do not add a space before a comma**
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param1 ,$param2);
```
**Good**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param1, $param2);
```
</div></details><br>
**Add a space after a comma**
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param1,$param2);
```
**Good**
```PHP
$result = my_function($param1, $param2);
```
</div></details><br>

# Use UPPERCASE for constants
As in most languages, constants should be written in UPPERCASE. This does not apply to keywords (see below)!
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
const pi = 3.14;
```
**Good**
```PHP
const PI = 3.14;
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Generic.NamingConventions.UpperCaseConstantName`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/NamingConventions/UpperCaseConstantNameSniff.php)
# Use lowercase for `true`, `false` and `null`
`true`, `false` and `null` must be written in lower case letters.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
if($condition === TRUE && $error === FALSE) {
return NULL;
}
```
**Good**
```PHP
if($condition === true && $error === false) {
return null;
}
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Generic.PHP.LowerCaseConstant`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/PHP/LowerCaseConstantSniff.php)
# Use a single string instead of concatenating
Concatenation is useful for combining variables with other variables or static text. It should not be used to combine two sets of static text. See also: [Maximum line length](#maximum-line-length)
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
$text = 'This is' . 'a bad idea!';
```
**Good**
```PHP
$text = 'This is a good idea!';
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Generic.Strings.UnnecessaryStringConcat`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/Strings/UnnecessaryStringConcatSniff.php)
# Whenever possible use single quote strings
PHP supports both single quote strings and double quote strings. For pure text you must use single quote strings for consistency. Double quote strings are only allowed for special characters (i.e. `"\n"`) or inlined variables (i.e. `"My name is {$name}"`);
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
echo "Hello World!";
```
**Good**
```PHP
echo 'Hello World!';
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Squiz/Sniffs/Strings/DoubleQuoteUsageSniff.php)
# Do not write empty statements
Empty statements are considered bad practice and must be avoided.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
if($condition) {
// empty statement
} else {
// do something here
}
```
**Good** (invert condition)
```PHP
if(!$condition) {
// do something
}
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Generic.CodeAnalysis.EmptyStatement`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/CodeAnalysis/EmptyStatementSniff.php)
# Use 'elseif' instead of 'else if'
For sake of consistency `else if` is considered bad practice.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
if($conditionA) {
} else if($conditionB) {
}
```
**Good**
```PHP
if($conditionA) {
} elseif($conditionB) {
}
```

# Do not write unconditional if-statements
If-statements without conditions are considered bad practice and must be avoided.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
```PHP
if(true) {
}
```
</div></details><br>
_Reference_: [`Generic.CodeAnalysis.UnconditionalIfStatement`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/master/src/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/CodeAnalysis/UnconditionalIfStatementSniff.php)
# Do not use final statements inside final classes
Final classes cannot be extended, so it doesn't make sense to add the final keyword to class members.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
final class MyClass {
final public function MyFunction() {
}
}
```
**Good** (remove the final keyword from class members)
```PHP
final class MyClass {
public function MyFunction() {
}
}
```
</div></details><br>

# Do not override methods to call their parent
It doesn't make sense to override a method only to call their parent. When overriding methods, make sure to add some functionality to it.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
class MyClass extends BaseClass {
public function BaseFunction() {
parent::BaseFunction();
}
}
```
**Good** (don't override the function)
```PHP
class MyClass extends BaseClass {
}
```

# Parameters with default values must appear last in functions
It is considered good practice to make parameters with default values last in function declarations.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**
```PHP
function showTitle($duration = 60000, $title) { ... }
```
**Good**

# Do not add spaces when casting
The casting type should be put into parenthesis without spaces.
<details><summary>Example</summary><div><br>
**Bad**

# Do not add whitespace at start or end of a file or end of a line
Whitespace at the end of lines or at the start or end of a file is invisible to the reader and absolutely unnecessary. Thus it must be removed.
