StyleCI
The Finder configuration feature lets you nitpick exactly which files will and won't be fixed by StyleCI. By default, StyleCI will try and fix everything except for a few preset places (see the default configuration here to see which ones); our Finder options are the go-to fix for changing that behavior.
Take a look at the below example of a PHP-only configuration:
risky: false
version: 8.3
presets: recommended
finder:
exclude:
- "tests"
- "docs"
- "log"
name: "*.php"
not-name:
- "*Stub.php"
- "*.blade.php"
contains:
- "Foo"
not-contains:
- "config"
path:
- "foo/Stuff"
not-path:
- "libraries"
depth:
- "< 2"{info} As in the above example, quotation marks around strings aren't necessary unless you're writing a regular expression.
Each option is followed by an arbitrarily long bullet-point list of strings to match with; if the list is one element long, it can be contracted, as with the name option above. Some options allow regular expressions.
We go through each of these options below.
Use the exclude option to exclude files in a given directory at the root of the project. In the above example, any path in the "tests", "docs" or "log" directories at the project root will be ignored.
Use name to identify the only file names to be analyzed. This is akin to a whitelist of file names to be checked. In the example, only "*.php" file names will be fixed.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use not-name to identify file names to not be analyzed. It acts as the reverse of name, blacklisting files. In the example, "*Stub.php" and "*.blade.php" files will be ignored.
If a file matches both name and not-name, it will be ignored.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use contains to only fix files whose contents contain certain strings or regexes. In the example, only files containing the string "Foo" will be fixed.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use not-contains to ignore files whose contents contain certain strings or regexes. In the example, files containing the string "config" will be ignored.
If a file matches both contains and not-contains, it will be ignored.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use path to only fix files whose path matches any one element of a list of strings or regexes. In the example, only files with a path containing "foo/Stuff" will be fixed. The path this is checked against will be relative to the project root.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use not-path to ignore files whose path contains any element of a list of strings or regexes. In the example, files with a path containing "libraries" will be ignored.
If a file path matches both path and not-path, it will be ignored.
{info} Regular expressions may be used with this option.
Use depth to identify how long a file's path should be, relative to the project root, to be fixed.
Each element of the list of strings has some possible formats, where N is a non-negative number:
"< N": Only fix files with path depth less than N."<= N": Only fix files with path depth less than or equal to N."== N": Only fix files with path depth equal to N."!= N": Only fix files with path depth not equal to N.">= N": Only fix files with path depth greater than or equal to N."> N": Only fix files with path depth greater than N."N" : Only fix files with path depth equal to N. This is
equivalent to saying "== N" explicitly.Listing multiple depths means all of them must be true. For instance, if you listed "<= 3", "!= 2" and "> 0", only paths of depth 3 or 1 would be considered.
In the above example, only files with path depth less than 2 relative to the project root are analyzed.
