Prettier PHP Plugin

WORK IN PROGRESS

Please note that this plugin is currently in alpha stage and still under active development. We encourage everyone to try it and give feedback, but we don't recommend it for production use yet.

Intro

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

This plugin adds support for the PHP language to Prettier.

Input

array_map(function($arg1,$arg2) use ( $var1, $var2 ) {
    return $arg1+$arg2/($var+$var2);
}, array("complex"=>"code","with"=>"inconsistent","formatting"=>"is", "hard" => "to", "maintain"=>true));

Output

array_map(
    function ($arg1, $arg2) use ($var1, $var2) {
        return $arg1 + $arg2 / ($var + $var2);
    },
    array(
        "complex" => "code",
        "with" => "inconsistent",
        "formatting" => "is",
        "hard" => "to",
        "maintain" => true
    )
);

Install

yarn:

yarn add --dev prettier @prettier/plugin-php
# or globally
yarn global add prettier @prettier/plugin-php

npm:

npm install --save-dev prettier @prettier/plugin-php
# or globally
npm install --global prettier @prettier/plugin-php

Use

If you installed prettier as a local dependency, you can add prettier as a script in your package.json,

"scripts": {
  "prettier": "prettier"
}

and then run it via

yarn run prettier path/to/file.php --write
# or
npm run prettier -- path/to/file.php --write

If you installed globally, run

prettier path/to/file.php --write

Configuration

Prettier for PHP supports the following options:

Name	Default	Description
printWidth	80	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs)
tabWidth	4	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs)
useTabs	false	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs)
singleQuote	false	If set to true, strings that use double quotes but do not rely on the features they add, will be reformatted. Example: "foo" -> 'foo', "foo $bar" -> "foo $bar".
trailingComma	"none"	If set to "all", trailing commas will be added to multiline arrays.
requirePragma	false	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs)
insertPragma	false	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs)

Editor integration

Atom

The official prettier plugin for atom supports plugins.

VScode

Regarding plugin support in the official plugin prettier-vscode see this issue.

Alternatively, install Run on Save and add the following section to your settings:

"emeraldwalk.runonsave": {
  "commands": [
    {
      "match": "\\.php$",
        "cmd": "prettier ${file} --write"
    }
  ]
}

Vim

Regarding plugin support in the official plugin vim-prettier see this issue.

ALE

The linting plugin ALE has built-in support for prettier and its plugins. Just add prettier to your list of fixers. For example:

let g:ale_fixers={
  \'javascript': ['prettier'],
  \'json': ['prettier'],
  \'php': ['prettier'],
\}

Custom

Alternatively, adding the following to .vimrc will define a custom command :PrettierPhp that runs the plugin while preserving the cursor position and run it on save.

" Prettier for PHP
function PrettierPhpCursor()
  let save_pos = getpos(".")
  %! prettier --stdin --parser=php
  call setpos('.', save_pos)
endfunction
" define custom command
command PrettierPhp call PrettierPhpCursor()
" format on save
autocmd BufwritePre *.php PrettierPhp
