The command "parallel-lint --json ${path-to-directory}" is used to run the parallel-lint tool with JSON output for a specified directory.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"parallel-lint": This is the name of the tool being executed. parallel-lint is a linting tool for PHP that checks PHP files for syntax errors, coding standards violations, and other issues. It helps to identify potential problems and maintain code quality.
-
"--json": This option specifies that the output format should be in JSON. Instead of displaying the results in a human-readable format, the tool will generate the output in a structured JSON format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.
-
"${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder for the path to the directory you want to analyze. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory you want to lint. For example, if you want to lint the PHP files in the current directory, you can replace "${path-to-directory}" with "." (current directory).
By running this command, the parallel-lint tool will analyze the PHP files in the specified directory, check them for errors and violations, and output the results in JSON format. This allows for further processing or integration with other tools or scripts that can consume JSON data easily.
