The TWG coding standards committee is announcing three coding standards changes for final discussion. These appear to have reached a point close enough to consensus for final completion. The process for proposing and ratifying changes is documented on the coding standards project page. A change to this process is being proposed to streamline the interaction between the coding standards body, Drupal Core, and the Coder project, please provide any feedback on that issue.
Announced for final discussion:
- Adopt airbnb javascript coding standards
- Set a standard for @var inline variable type declarations
- PHP 5.4 short array syntax coding standards - This issue was previously announced and discussed and now has new language in the summary for final consideration.
Official coding standards updates now ratified:
- Within the Function Calls section, delete explicit mention of padding spacing in a block of related assignments
- Define coding standards for anonymous functions (closures)
- Standardize indenting on chained method calls
Formerly announced issues that need an issue summary update
These issues have a lot of support but need an update to formalize the proposal so that they can be ratified and applied.
- Agree on a property naming pattern
- Coding standards for breaking function calls, function declarations, and language constructs across lines
- Add type hinting to function declaration coding standards
These proposals will be re-evaluated during the next coding standards meeting currently scheduled for December 20th. At that point the discussion may be extended, or if clear consensus has been reached one or more policies may be dismissed or ratified and moved to the next step in the process.
