CodeIgniter extensions and rules for PHPStan
============================================

[](#codeigniter-extensions-and-rules-for-phpstan)

[![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)

- [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/)
- [CodeIgniter](https://codeigniter.com/)

This extension provides the following features:

- [Type inference](docs/type-inference.md)

### Rules

[](#rules)

- Checks if the string argument passed to `config()` or `model()` function is a valid class string extending `CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig` or `CodeIgniter\Model`, respectively. This can be turned off by setting `codeigniter.checkArgumentTypeOfFactories: false` in your `phpstan.neon`. For fine-grained control, you can individually choose which factory function to disable using `codeigniter.checkArgumentTypeOfConfig` and `codeigniter.checkArgumentTypeOfModel`. **NOTE:** Setting `codeigniter.checkArgumentTypeOfFactories: false` will effectively bypass the two specific options.
- Checks if the string argument passed to `service()` or `single_service()` function is a valid service name. This can be turned off by setting `codeigniter.checkArgumentTypeOfServices: false` in your `phpstan.neon`.
- Disallows instantiating cache handlers using `new` and suggests to use the `CacheFactory` class instead.
- Disallows instantiating `FrameworkException` classes using `new`.
- Disallows direct re-assignment or access of `$_SERVER` and `$_GET` and suggests to use the `Superglobals` class instead.
- Disallows use of `::class` fetch on `config()` and `model()` and suggests to use the short form of the class instead.

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
```

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!
