craft-php-guidelines

Craft CMS 5 plugin coding standards require comprehensive PHPDocs on classes, methods, and properties, specific naming conventions, and typed properties to ensure consistent code quality and maintainability across services, models, controllers, and elements.

Craft CMS 5 naming conventions specify patterns like beforePrepare() and addSelect() for methods, alongside structured helper methods and project-wide rules to ensure consistent structure and documentation across plugin and module development.

No, Craft CMS 5 coding guidelines explicitly advise avoiding declare(strict_types=1) in plugin source files, preferring alternative typing strategies like using ?string for nullable types to maintain consistency.

PHPDocs are required on everything in Craft CMS 5 plugin development, including classes, methods, and properties, to improve static analysis, collaboration, and overall code documentation across all plugin and module files.

Craft CMS 5 coding standards include companion tooling guidelines for ECS and PHPStan, along with scaffolding practices, to streamline development and enforce the required PHP coding standards across plugins and modules.
