FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Moodle PHP code for PSR-12 compliance?▼

PSR-12 validation for Moodle PHP code enforces standard formatting rules adapted for Moodle's conventions, including lowercase_with_underscores naming and frankenstyle prefixes. Run phpcs with Moodle PSR-12 ruleset on your plugin files to detect violations in naming, indentation, line length, and PHPDoc blocks.

What are frankenstyle prefixes and why does Moodle code need them?▼

Frankenstyle prefixes are component-specific prefixes prepended to all functions and classes in Moodle plugins to avoid namespace collisions. Moodle PSR-12 standards require these prefixes on every function and class definition to maintain code isolation across plugins.

Can I automatically fix PSR-12 violations in my Moodle code?▼

Yes. Use phpcbf with Moodle PSR-12 ruleset to automatically correct common violations including naming conventions, indentation, line length, and PHPDoc formatting. The tool applies fixes and outputs a detailed report of all violations resolved.

Does Moodle PSR-12 differ from standard PSR-12 coding standards?▼

Moodle PSR-12 extends standard PSR-12 with Moodle-specific exceptions: lowercase_with_underscores naming for legacy code compatibility and mandatory frankenstyle component prefixes on all functions and classes, replacing PSR-12's standard camelCase conventions.

What happens when I refactor existing Moodle code to meet PSR-12 standards?▼

Refactoring Moodle code to PSR-12 involves validating naming conventions, prefixes, indentation, and PHPDoc blocks. The Skill identifies violations, applies automatic fixes via phpcbf, and generates a comprehensive report of all corrections made to align your code with Moodle standards.

Do I need phpcs and phpcbf installed to use Moodle PSR-12 validation?▼

Yes. The Moodle PSR-12 validation integrates with phpcs for code analysis and phpcbf for automated fixes. Both tools must be installed and configured with the Moodle PSR-12 ruleset to validate and correct your plugin PHP files.
