PHPStan CodeIgniter4 extension
==============================

[](#phpstan-codeigniter4-extension)

[![Extension Tests](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-phpunit.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-phpunit.yml)[![Coding Standards Check](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-coding-standards.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-coding-standards.yml)[![PHPStan Static Analysis](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-phpstan.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/actions/workflows/test-phpstan.yml)

- [CodeIgniter4](https://codeigniter.com/)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This PHPStan extension provides type inference support and rules for `CodeIgniter4`.

- [Rules](docs/rules.md)
- [Type inference](docs/type-inference.md)
- [Upgrading from 1.x to 2.x](docs/upgrading.md)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To use this extension, require it in [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require --dev codeigniter/phpstan-codeigniter

```

If you also install [phpstan/extension-installer](https://github.com/phpstan/extension-installer) then you're all set!

 Manual installationIf you don't want to use `phpstan/extension-installer`, include extension.neon in your project's PHPStan config:

```
includes:
    - vendor/codeigniter/phpstan-codeigniter/extension.neon
```

Bootstrapping CodeIgniter
-------------------------

[](#bootstrapping-codeigniter)

This extension boots CodeIgniter during analysis so it can read your configuration, services, and database schema. Point PHPStan at a bootstrap file that loads the framework. CodeIgniter's own test bootstrap works out of the box:

```
parameters:
    bootstrapFiles:
        - vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/Test/bootstrap.php
```

The Model and Entity type inference additionally materializes your schema by running your migrations against a temporary SQLite database, so the `sqlite3` PHP extension is required (it is declared in this package's `composer.json`). The schema is cached under the working directory's `tmp` folder by default. See the [type inference docs](docs/type-inference.md) for how to point it at a specific namespace.

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Any contributions are welcome.

If you want to see a new rule or extension specific to CodeIgniter, please open a [feature request](https://github.com/CodeIgniter/phpstan-codeigniter/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature+request&projects=&template=feature_request.yml). If you can contribute the code yourself, please open a pull request instead.

Before reporting any bugs, please check if the bug occurs only if using this extension with PHPStan. If the bug is reproducible in PHPStan alone, please open a bug report there instead. Thank you!
