### How it works

Basically this plugin executes the following steps:
Basically, this plugin executes the following steps:

- This plugin search for `phpcodesniffer-standard` packages in all of your currently installed Composer packages.
- Matching packages and the project itself are scanned for PHP_CodeSniffer rulesets.
- The plugin will call PHP_CodeSniffer and configure the `installed_paths` option.

### Calling the plugin directly
### Example project

In some circumstances it is desirable to call this plugin's functionality
The following is an example Composer project and has included
multiple `phpcodesniffer-standard` packages.

```json
{
"name": "dealerdirect/example-project",
"description": "Just an example project",
"type": "project",
"require": {},
"require-dev": {
"dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer": "*",
"object-calisthenics/phpcs-calisthenics-rules": "*",
"wimg/php-compatibility": "*",
"wp-coding-standards/wpcs": "*"
}
}
```

After running `composer install` PHP_CodeSniffer just works:

```bash
$ ./vendor/bin/phpcs -i
The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz, Zend, PHPCompatibility, WordPress,
WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, WordPress-Extra and WordPress-VIP
```

### Calling the plugin directly

In some circumstances, it is desirable to call this plugin's functionality
directly. For instance, during development or in [CI][definition-ci] environments.

As the plugin requires Composer to work, direct calls need to be wired through a
project's `composer.json`.

This is done by adding a call to the `Plugin::run` function in the `script`

### Caveats

When this plugin is installed globally, composer will load the _global_ plugin rather
than the one from the local repository. Despite [this behaviour being documented
in the composer manual][using-composer-plugins], it could potentially cause confusion
as an version of the plugin could be run other than the version specified by the project.
