Description
-----------

[](#description)

The main goal of this extension is to help PHPStan to detect the types after using `Psl\Type\shape`.

Given the following example:

```
use Psl\Type;

$specification = Type\shape([
    'name' => Type\string(),
    'age' => Type\int(),
    'location' => Type\optional(Type\shape([
        'city' => Type\string(),
        'state' => Type\string(),
        'country' => Type\string(),
    ]))
]);

$input = $specification->coerce($_GET['user']);
```

PHPStan assumes that `$input` is of type `array`.

If we enable the extension, you will get a more specific and correct type of `array{name: string, age: int, location?: array{city: string, state: string, country: string}}`.

Besides coerce, this extension also supports `matches()` and `assert()` methods.

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

[](#installation)

To use this extension, require it in [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require --dev php-standard-library/phpstan-extension

```

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/php-standard-library/phpstan-extension/extension.neon

```
