Configure PHP-cs-fixer indentation for 2 spaces rather than 4?

Question

Not sure if this a better question for here or SuperUser. If it belongs there feel free to move it.

I'm using php-cs-fixer, and I have a unique requirement on indentations - I need two spaces rather than four. Is there a way to change this setting?

Note that I'm using atom-beautifier to run php-cs-fixer, so any solution should ideally be workable from there.

Answer 1

You can set the PHP-CS-Fixer config file path and set the setIndent() value as defined at PHP-CS-Fixer's documentation website.

See image for Atom package settings

Set the .php_cs with something like this. Note the ->setIndent(" ") with two spaces instead of a \t character.

<?php

return PhpCsFixer\Config::create()
  /* ... other settings */
  ->setIndent("  ")
  /* ... other settings */

I am using php-cs-fixer plugin version 4.1.0 here.
