This PR suggests changing the Composer package type to enable automatic standard registration via the PHPCSStandards Composer installer plugin.
Problem/Motivation
Composer allows declaring a package's type. This package currently uses
"php-code-sniffer"as its type.There is a Composer plugin that can install custom PHP_CodeSniffer standards: https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/composer-installer
This plugin is part of the PHPCSStandards organisation, which is the new official home of PHP_CodeSniffer.
For this installer to work, the package type needs to be set to
phpcodesniffer-standard.There are already over 470 packages that use this type. As a side benefit, using this type will allow end-users to more easily find other external PHP_CodeSniffer standards that may be interesting to them when searching on Packagist.
Proposed changes
Change the
typeincomposer.jsonfrom"php-code-sniffer"to"phpcodesniffer-standard".This will in no way change the existing behavior of this package for users that do not include the Composer plugin mentioned above in their projects'
composer.json.
