This plugin may add strict\_types declaration on files that could broke your production environment. Please use carefully This plugin uses Psalm type inference and PHP-Parser's node parsing to check every possible strict\_types violation: - Parameters in methods/functions calls - Return statement for methods/functions - Properties assignation When it encounters a potentially problematic code, it will create a Psalm issue based on the criticity of the code: - BadTypeFromDocblockIssue - MixedBadTypeFromDocblockIssue - PartialBadTypeFromDocblockIssue These issues are emitted when encountering a type (inferred from docblock) that is not expected on a file that is not yet strict. The given type can either be mixed (generally not enough documented), partial (only part of an Union is expected) or totally bad (a completely different type) - BadTypeFromDocblockOnStrictFileIssue - MixedBadTypeFromDocblockOnStrictFileIssue - PartialBadTypeFromDocblockOnStrictFileIssue These issues are emitted when encountering a type (inferred from docblock) that is not expected on a file that is already strict. The given type can either be mixed (generally not enough documented), partial (only part of an Union is expected) or totally bad (a completely different type) - BadTypeFromSignatureIssue - MixedBadTypeFromSignatureIssue - PartialBadTypeFromSignatureIssue These issues are emitted when encountering a type (inferred from signature) that is not expected on a file that is not yet strict. The given type can either be mixed (generally not enough documented), partial (only part of an Union is expected) or totally bad (a completely different type) - BadTypeFromSignatureOnStrictFileIssue - MixedBadTypeFromSignatureOnStrictFileIssue - PartialBadTypeFromSignatureOnStrictFileIssue These issues are emitted when encountering a type (inferred from signature) that is not expected on a file that is already strict. The given type can either be mixed (generally not enough documented), partial (only part of an Union is expected) or totally bad (a completely different type) - GoodTypeFromDocblockIssue This issue is emitted when encountering a type that is expected but inferred from docblock. This plugin will not automatically add a strict\_types declaration in this case because the docblock *may* be wrong - StrictDeclarationToAddIssue When not in --alter mode, this issue will be emitted when the plugin detects that a declaration can be added safely for this file Notes: The philosophy of this plugin does not match Psalm's. In effect, solving every issue from this plugin will probably create new issues in Psalm core. (for example RedundantCast) This is due to the decision of not trusting docblock on this tool to avoid adding strict\_types when docblock is wrong. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity36 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 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.
