Extra: add two new sniffs related to heredoc/nowdocs#2534
Merged
Conversation
Two new sniffs were introduced in PHPCS 3.11.0:
* The `Generic.Strings.UnnecessaryHeredoc` sniff recommends using nowdoc syntax for heredocs which don't contain interpolation or expressions.
This is similar to the `Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage` sniff which is included in the WP-Core ruleset.
Ref: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/blob/48e59e97eb950dc011d25a6759feb949afd802a0/WordPress-Core/ruleset.xml#L58-L60
* The `Generic.WhiteSpace.HereNowdocIdentifierSpacing` sniff required that there is no space between the `<<<` and the heredoc/nowdoc identifier.
Both seem like useful additions to me,
I also think both sniffs should be regarded as candidates for moving them to the WPCS Core ruleset if/when a next update proposal is posted on Make.
