AUTOMATE YOUR CODE QUALITY MAINTAINING THE CHAOS
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS WHO AM I? I’m Steve McDougall ‣ PHP User Group Organiser ‣ Conference Organiser ‣ Experienced Developer ‣ PHP Advocate
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS MANAGING CODE QUALITY CAN GET CONFUSING PRETTY QUICKLY
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS AN EVOLVING SYSTEM INCREASES ITS COMPLEXITY UNLESS WORK IS DONE TO REDUCE IT Prof. Meir Lehman, Middlesex University
THE FIGHT AGAINST CHAOS
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS ENTER GRUMPHP
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS YAML GOODNESS Simple to use YAML confuration files
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS WHAT DOES IT DO With GrumPHP you set certain tasks to run on git pre-commit hooks. These can be configured per task.
LETS BREAK DOWN A FEW TASKS
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS FILE SIZE CHECKER max_size: The target value may use magnitudes of kilobytes (k, ki), megabytes (m, mi), or gigabytes (g, gi) ignore_patterns: This is a list of patterns that will be ignored. With this option you can skip files.
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS GIT BLACKLIST keywords: Use this parameter to specify your blacklisted keywords list. triggered_by: This option will specify which file extensions will trigger the git blacklist task. regexp_type This option allows you to choose the type of regexp you want to use for patterns (can be G for POSIX basic, E for POSIX extended or P for Perl Compatible).
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS PHP LINT exclude: Any directories to be excluded from linting. short_open_tag: This option can allow PHP short open tags. triggered_by: Any file extensions that you wish to be passed to the linter.
MAINTAINING THE CHAOS THERE ARE MANY OTHER TASKS ALREADY AVAILABLE From Doctrine ORM to NPM Scripts and Phan there are many pre-built tasks you can configure to run. Alongside these custom tasks can be built as required.

Most people know Steve McDougall as the organiser of PHP South Wales, but when he isn’t organising meetups or being a dad he can be found working at local Digital Sports Agency Sotic; as their new Development Team Lead. Part of his job is to design modern architectures and API’s to deliver statistics to the sports world, this means there is a lot of code and a lot that can go wrong. In this talk Steve will give an introduction to how you can maintain quality more autonomously with a small set of tools and better practices.
