Method Detail

__construct (Constructor) [line 63]

PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Generator __construct(
string
$standard, [array
$sniffs = array()])

Constructs a PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Generator object.

See: PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Generator::generate()
Access: public

Parameters:

string	`$standard`	—	The name of the coding standard to generate docs for.
array	`$sniffs`	—	An array of sniffs that we are limiting the generated docs to.

generate [line 109]

void generate(
)

Generates the documentation for a standard.

It's probably wise for doc generators to override this method so they have control over how the docs are produced. Otherwise, the processSniff method should be overridden to output content for each sniff.

See: PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Generator::processSniff()
Access: public

Overridden in child classes as:

PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_HTML::generate(): Generates the documentation for a standard.

[ Top ]

getStandard [line 92]

string getStandard(
)

Retrieves the name of the standard we are generating docs for.

Access: protected

[ Top ]

getStandardFiles [line 133]

array(string) getStandardFiles(
)

Returns a list of paths to XML standard files for all sniffs in a standard.

Any sniffs that do not have an XML standard file are obviously not included in the returned array. If documentation is only being generated for some sniffs (ie. $this->_sniffs is not empty) then all others sniffs will be filtered from the results as well.

Access: protected

getTitle [line 80]

string getTitle(
DOMNode
$doc)

Retrieves the title of the sniff from the DOMNode supplied.

Access: protected

Parameters:

DOMNode $doc — The DOMNode object for the sniff. It represents the "documentation" tag in the XML standard file.

[ Top ]

processSniff [line 175]

void processSniff(
DOMNode
$doc)

Process the documentation for a single sniff.

Doc generators should override this function to produce output.

See: PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Generator::generate()
Access: protected

Overridden in child classes as:

PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_HTML::processSniff(): Process the documentation for a single sniff.

PHP_CodeSniffer_DocGenerators_Text::processSniff(): Process the documentation for a single sniff.

Parameters:

DOMNode $doc — The DOMNode object for the sniff. It represents the "documentation" tag in the XML standard file.
