Add its own class for curl on WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions

[stefanolissa]

Hi, since curl sometimes needs to be used, for example, when the multi_exec() is used and cannot be replaced by wp_remote_*, having a specific class like WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.Curl to group all the curl functions would help to disable that sniff in a file. Otherwise a lot of phpcs:disable comments should be added.

I tried to seek a way to disable the sniffs with a "start-with" rule, but I didn't find it.

Thanks.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but disabling the curl group (or any group) is a existing feature and has been around for forever. See: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Customizable-sniff-properties#various-sniffs-excluding-a-group-of-checks

This property works code-base wide though, so is not file specific.

That's perfect, thank you!
