The stubs can subsequently be used to facilitate IDE completion or static analysis via [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org) or potentially other tools. Stub generation is particularly useful for code which mixes definitions with side-effects. The generator is based on nikic's [PHP-Parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser), and the code also relies on several [Symfony](https://symfony.com) components. Contributions in the form of [issues](https://github.com/php-stubs/generator/issues/new) or Pull Requests are welcome! Example ------- [](#example) The idea is to turn this: ``` // source-file-1.php /** * @param string $bar * @return int */ function foo($bar) { return (int) $bar; } /** @var string */ $something = '123abc'; if ($something) { echo foo($something); } // source-file-2.php namespace MyNamespace; class MyClass extends MyParentClass { public function method(): string { return ''; } } ``` Into this: ``` // stubs.php namespace { /** * @param string $bar * @return int */ function foo($bar) { } /** @var string */ $something = '123abc'; } namespace MyNamespace { class MyClass extends MyParentClass { public function method(): string { } } } ``` Command Line Usage ------------------ [](#command-line-usage) To install: ``` composer global require php-stubs/generator ``` To get the pretty-printed stubs for all the PHP files in a directory: ``` generate-stubs /path/to/my-library ``` You may also pass multiple directories, or filenames, separated by spaces. All stubs will be concatenated in the output. To write the stubs to a file (and see a few statistics in the stdout): ``` generate-stubs /path/to/my-library --out=/path/to/output.php ``` For the complete set of command line options: ``` generate-stubs --help ``` Usage in PHP ------------ [](#usage-in-php) To install: ``` composer require php-stubs/generator ``` ### Simple Example [](#simple-example) ``` // You'll need the Composer Autoloader. require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // You may alias the classnames for convenience. use StubsGenerator\{StubsGenerator, Finder}; // First, instantiate a `StubsGenerator\StubsGenerator`. $generator = new StubsGenerator(); // Then, create a `StubsGenerator\Finder` which contains // the set of files you wish to generate stubs for. $finder = Finder::create()->in('/path/to/my-library/'); // Now you may use the `StubsGenerator::generate()` method, // which will return a `StubsGenerator\Result` instance. $result = $generator->generate($finder); // You can use the `Result` instance to pretty-print the stubs. echo $result->prettyPrint(); // You can also use it to retrieve the PHP-Parser nodes // that represent the generated stub declarations. $stmts = $result->getStubStmts(); ``` ### Additional Features [](#additional-features) You can restrict the set of symbol types for which stubs are generated: ``` // This will only generate stubs for function declarations. $generator = new StubsGenerator(StubsGenerator::FUNCTIONS); // This will only generate stubs for class or interface declarations. $generator = new StubsGenerator(StubsGenerator::CLASSES | StubsGenerator::INTERFACES); ``` The set of symbol types are: - `StubsGenerator::FUNCTIONS`: Function declarations. - `StubsGenerator::CLASSES`: Class declarations. - `StubsGenerator::TRAITS`: Trait declarations. - `StubsGenerator::INTERFACES`: Interface declarations. - `StubsGenerator::DOCUMENTED_GLOBALS`: Global variables, but only those with a doc comment. - `StubsGenerator::UNDOCUMENTED_GLOBALS`: Global variable, but only those without a doc comment. - `StubsGenerator::GLOBALS`: Shortcut to include both documented and undocumented global variables. - `StubsGenerator::CONSTANTS`: Constant declarations. - `StubsGenerator::DEFAULT`: Shortcut to include everything *except* undocumented global variables. - `StubsGenerator::ALL`: Shortcut to include everything. ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity3 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
