Symfony extension for PHPStan
=============================

[](#symfony-extension-for-phpstan)

What does it do?
----------------

[](#what-does-it-do)

- Provides correct return type for `ContainerInterface::get()` method,
- provides correct return type for `Controller::get()` method,
- notifies you when you try to get an unregistered service from the container,
- notifies you when you try to get a private service from the container.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev lookyman/phpstan-symfony
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Put this into your `phpstan.neon` config:

```
includes:
	- vendor/lookyman/phpstan-symfony/extension.neon
parameters:
	symfony:
		container_xml_path: %rootDir%/../../../var/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.xml # or srcDevDebugProjectContainer.xml for Symfony 4+
```

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

It can only recognize pure strings or `::class` constants passed into `get()` method. This follows from the nature of static code analysis.

You have to provide a path to `appDevDebugProjectContainer.xml` or similar xml file describing your container.

Need something?
---------------

[](#need-something)

I don't use Symfony that often. So it might be entirely possible that something doesn't work here or that it lacks some functionality. If that's the case, **PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE** to open an issue or send a pull request. I will have a look at it and together we'll get you what you need. Thanks.
