Demo

<?php

{
    public function findOneById(int $id): ?Entity;
}
interface Mock{}
/** @return \DateTimeInterface&Mock */
function date_mock() {
    return new class('now') extends \DateTime implements Mock{};
}

        $nullable_string = true; // ERROR
    }

    function typed_by_assignement() : void

        $bool = true; //direct typed without doc-block
        $bool = false; // ok (currently, this plugin treats true|false as bool)
        $bool = 1; // ERROR
    }

    function mismatch_by_return() : void
    {
        /** @var Entity $entity */

Limitation

  • NOT support global variables.
  • NOT support variables in namespace.
  • NOT support Variable variables
  • Non-each inline VariableReference.
    • eg.
/** @var string $var1 */
/** @var bool $var2 */
$var1 = 'string'; // cannot determine type for $var1

// should fix like below
/** @var string $var1 */
$var1 = 'string';
/** @var bool $var2 */
$var2 = true;

Installation

$ composer require --dev struggle-for-php/sfp-psalm-typed-local-variable-plugin
$ vendor/bin/psalm-plugin enable struggle-for-php/sfp-psalm-typed-local-variable-plugin

Todo

  • optional setting for only from_docblock typed.
