### How to Pass Code Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure your code passes the quality checks from these tools, follow these guidelines:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Run Local Checks First**
|
||||
- Before pushing your code, run PHPCS and PHPCBF locally
|
||||
- Fix any issues identified by these tools
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Address Common Issues**
|
||||
- **Indentation**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
|
||||
- **Line Length**: Keep lines under 100 characters
|
||||
- **Naming Conventions**: Follow WordPress naming conventions
|
||||
- **Documentation**: Add PHPDoc comments to classes, methods, and functions
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: Implement proper error handling
|
||||
- **Security**: Validate and sanitize input, escape output
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Using AI Assistants with Code Quality Tools**
|
||||
- When you receive feedback from code quality tools, you can use AI assistants to help address the issues
|
||||
- Copy the output from the code quality tool and paste it into your AI assistant chat
|
||||
- Ask the AI to help you understand and fix the issues
|
||||
- Example prompt: "I received the following feedback from [Tool Name]. Please help me understand these issues and suggest fixes: [Paste the tool output here]"
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Iterative Improvement**
|
||||
- Address issues one at a time, starting with the most critical
|
||||
- Commit and push your changes to see if they resolve the issues
|
||||
- Continue this process until all issues are resolved
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
