Drupal's Coding Standards Committee Proposes Changes for Final Discussion

Staff Reporter

The Coding Standards Committee has made two notable proposals for coding standards changes, scheduled for the final discussion on November 7, 2023, as noted in the blog post by Victoria Spagnolo. The first proposal pertains to using the null coalescing operator (??) instead of the ternary operator when combined with the is set statement. The second proposal involves updating the Help Text Standards Examples to modify the heading structure. Both of these changes aim to enhance and align the Drupal coding standards with evolving best practices in the field of web development.

The Coding Standards project page provides comprehensive information on amending Drupal's coding standards, offering transparency and clarity to the Drupal community. These proposed changes build upon recent updates, including allowing constructor methods to omit docblocks and introducing specific requirements for in-code documentation. Additionally, recent improvements have been made to the documentation standards related to arrays, classes, and namespaces, emphasizing the community's commitment to enhancing the quality and consistency of Drupal's coding practices.

Drupal enthusiasts and developers are encouraged to engage with the Coding Standards Committee and provide valuable feedback on these proposed changes, contributing to the continuous refinement and evolution of Drupal's coding standards. Interested individuals can join the discussions in the #coding-standards channel on Drupal Slack, where they can collaborate with others dedicated to improving the coding standards, thus ensuring the ongoing excellence of Drupal's core software.
