PSR auto-formatting for NetBeans

This repository provides source code auto-formatting settings for PHP PSR1 and PSR2 standards.

Although NetBeans does not provide automatic formatting support for all of the PSR1 and PSR2 'rules' (eg. refactoring class and method name case) I have done my best to implement as much as possible.

The result of using this configuration is, once imported you can then use the Source > Format function (ALT+SHIFT+F on Windows and Linux) or (CTRL+SHIFT+F on Mac) in NetBeans the PHP code will automatically be formatted to match PSR1/PSR2 syntax format.

Requirements

• NetBeans (Tested and developed on v8.2 and v8.1 but should work fine on other versions too!)

License

All things have a license I guess, so keeping it plain and simple, these files are released under the MIT license.

Support

I am happy to provide support via. my personal email address, so if you need a hand or want to give me some feedback please drop me an email at: ballen@bobbyallen.me.

Installation

• Download the latest release (specifically the ZIP version) to your machine (If you're using Netbeans 8.1 or below see the notes below about a bug and a provided workaround version).
• Open up the NetBeans IDE on your computer
• From the top menu, click on Tools and then from the menu that appears click Options
• When the Options window appears click on the Import button at the bottom left.
• When the Import window appears click on the Browse button and select the downloaded zip archive that you downloaded in the first step.
• Under the Select options to import:, check the All check box and then click Ok and then Apply.
• You should then be prompted to restart the IDE, restart and enjoy your new auto-formatting skills ;)

Using NetBeans 8.1 (and lower)?

There is an issue in Netbeans versions 8.1 (and lower) in which the namespace new-line configuration does not work (a bug) of which has since been fixed in Netbeans 8.2. As a workaround however, release v1.0.1 uses a single blank line to split the namespace from the first line of which is recommended to use.

Preparing the source code for 'import'

In order to import the settings into NetBeans, compress the root directory of the src directory into a zip file of which can then be used to import into NetBeans as shown below in the installation guide.
