WordPress Coding Standards: Bridging the Gap to Modern PHP
Read the full post here: https://aysnc.dev/videos/modern-wordp...
WordPress coding standards were established long before many "modern" PHP practices became the norm. In this video, I dive into the history of WPCS, why WordPress "missed the boat" on PSR standards, and how you can adopt an improved workflow that doesn't sacrifice modern features like autoloading.
I also introduce my new rule set at Aysnc designed to give you the best of both worlds: the spirit of WordPress standards with the flexibility of modern PHP.
In this video:
1. What are coding standards and why do they matter for governance?
2. The history of WPCS vs. PSR-1.
3. Why I built a custom "Improved" WordPress rule set.
4. How to handle "sloppy" AI-generated code using automated fixers.
