Quickstart ---------- [](#quickstart) Please refer to the [full Psalm documentation](https://psalm.dev/quickstart) for a more detailed guide on how to use Psalm in your project. First you need to install the psalm base package and create a `psalm.xml` ``` composer require --dev vimeo/psalm ./vendor/bin/psalm --init ``` Next you will need to require this package and enable it in psalm ``` composer require --dev lordsimal/cakephp-psalm ./vendor/bin/psalm-plugin enable lordsimal/cakephp-psalm ``` Finally you can try it out ``` ./vendor/bin/psalm ``` How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) Currently only the following return types are being corrected: - `Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::get()` - `Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorAwareTrait::fetchTable()` The functionality for this can be found in `src/Type/TableLocatorHandler.php` In there the `getClassLikeNames()` tells psalm on which classes it needs to change return types. In the `getMethodReturnType()` we check which method is currently called and get the first argument value from that call. With that value we get the "real" FQCN of the table which is returned in runtime and tell psalm to use that instead of the default `Cake\ORM\Table`. Help needed ----------- [](#help-needed) I would definitely appreciate help related to the following aspects of this plugin: - Testing - Including more return types like [CakeDC/cakephp-phpstan](https://github.com/CakeDC/cakephp-phpstan) already does for PHPStan ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance57 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity27 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity47 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
