	<description>Apply customized version of WordPress Coding Standards to WordCamp.org PHP scripts.</description>

	<!--
		Setup instructions:

		1) Install PHPCS (e.g., `brew install homebrew/php/php-code-sniffer`)
		2) Install the WP Coding Standards (https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards)
		3) Edit CodeSniffer.conf and update `installed_paths` to point to where you installed the WP Coding Standards,
		   and any other tweaks you want to make.
		   See https://github.com/iandunn/dotfiles/blob/master/phpcs/CodeSniffer.conf for an example.
		4) Make sure this file is at the project root. You can symlink it there if your `meta.(git|svn).wordpress.org`
		   checkout is elsewhere.
		5) `cd` to a folder inside the project and run `phpcs`. You can use the `-a` flag to run it interactively.
		6) Run it before you generate a patch or create a commit. Setting up a git pre-commit or pre-push hook can
		   make that automatic.

		Note: It's possible to create a `phpcs.xml` file if you want to override anything here, but please make sure
		any code you contribute conforms to this file. If you think any of the rules here should change, start a
		discussion in #meta-wordcamp.

		Exclude 3rd party plugins/themes so this can be run from the project root without a ton of extraneous stuff
		<exclude-pattern>/build/*</exclude-pattern>

		disable WordPress.VIP.PostsPerPage.posts_per_page_posts_per_page for bin folder only
			should that be `WordPress.VIP.PostsPerPage.posts_per_page` ?

		Look through `General` and `Squiz` sniffs for anything you might want to add.
			Is there one that detects `\Foo` instead of `use Foo`?
			maximum nesting level?
			function length?
			unnecessary order-of-operations params, e.g., $foo = ( $bar || $qax ) ? 'bax' : 'quix';
			echoing html instead of breaking php or using an external view. e.g., echo '<div>foo</div>'; should be `?> <div>foo</div> <?php` (but on multiple lines of course)
			heredoc/nowdoc should never be used
			var assignment immediately followed by if/while/for statement, without a blank space inbetween. maybe not in all cases, though?
			closing divs with a comment after them. it adds clutter. when viewing source, this is an artifact from the days before browser dev tools. view in IDEs, this isn't necessary if the code is properly formatted.
			return statement at end of function w/out blank line above it
			no space between last @param and the @return in docblock. i know diff than core, but whitespace makes it easier to scan/read. should also have space above first @param. sometimes want no space between different types of tags, though.
			opening/closing <?php ?> tags without a blank line after/before them, except when doing single-line like <?php foo(); ?>
			align ? and : in multiple ternary operator statements
			don't un-align params in function calls - e.g., multiple add_meta_box( $a, $b, $c, $d, $e, $f, $g ) calls should have the params aligned.
			file missing `defined WPINC or die` at start
			don't add `@return void`, just leave return empty
			no space before ++,etc operators: e.g., `$attempt_count ++;`
			replace explicit references to central.wordcamp.org / ID `5` with `is_main_site()` or `get_main_site_id()`
			anonymous functions used with add_(action|filter), and maybe other places can detect w/out false positives. don't be lazy. should only be used with cases like array_filter.
			whitespace-only changes to lines that don't have logic changes, in a commit that does have logic changes. this indicates that a commit is mixing coding standards changes w/ logic changes, which adds diff noise to the logic change. they should be separate commits.
			unnecessary parenthesis in ternary conditions: $result = ( $condition ) ? 'foo' : 'bar'

		Maybe add WordCamp\Remote_CSS\output_cached_css to customEscapingFunctions or whichever param is most appropriate
		Maybe do something similar for set_cache_headers and nonce verification

		Setup WordPress.WP.I18n text_domain property and test that it works, see https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Customizable-sniff-properties#internationalization-setting-your-text-domain

		Don't add @package phpDoc? Clutters code without adding any real value. You know what "package" the file is part of because of the folder it's in; e.g., wp-content/plugins/wordcamp-payments

		Don't mush HTML elements together on the same line, unless it's really short. `<h1>The title</h1>` is ok, but `<h1><?php echo esc_html( get_the_title() ); ?></h1>` should have the h1 tags on separate lines.

		wp_enqueue_*() cachebusters should use filemtime() rather than a hardcoded int.

		Combine similar `use` statements on the same line. Like, all the core PHP objects, then all the WP objects on the 2nd line, then our custom objects on the 3rd line, etc.

		Prevent blank lines at start of function/class
