PHPStan Container Extensions
============================

[](#phpstan-container-extensions)

[![PHPStan](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/c961f520ec74aa0d9e60565e511aebb1c4930b5a0ea635e9be3e99bf562be287/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f5048505374616e2d656e61626c65642d323339393232)](https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan)

PHPStan extensions for dependency injection containers. Provides dynamic return type resolution so PHPStan understands that `$container->get(Foo::class)` returns `Foo`.

Supported Containers
--------------------

[](#supported-containers)

- [StellarWP Container Contract](https://github.com/stellarwp/container-contract) (`StellarWP\ContainerContract\ContainerInterface`)
- [PSR-11 Container](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) (`Psr\Container\ContainerInterface`)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or higher
- PHPStan 2.0 or higher

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev dpanta94/phpstan-containers
```

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

### Manual Installation

[](#manual-installation)

If you don't use the extension installer, add the extension to your `phpstan.neon`:

```
includes:
    - vendor/dpanta94/phpstan-containers/extension.neon
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once installed, PHPStan will automatically understand container return types:

```
use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;

class MyService {
    public function __construct(private ContainerInterface $container) {}

    public function doSomething(): void {
        // PHPStan knows $logger is an instance of Logger
        $logger = $this->container->get(Logger::class);
        $logger->info('Hello world');

        // PHPStan knows $mailer is an instance of MailerInterface
        $mailer = $this->container->get(MailerInterface::class);
        $mailer->send($message);
    }
}
```

The extension resolves types when:

- The argument to `get()` is a class-string constant (e.g., `Foo::class`)
- The class or interface exists in the codebase

When using string service IDs (e.g., `$container->get('mailer')`), the extension falls back to the default `mixed` return type.
