PHPStan-CakePHP2
================

[](#phpstan-cakephp2)

PHPStan extensions to help test CakePHP 2 projects with PHPStan

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4
- phpstan/phpstan 2.x
- cakephp/cakephp 2.x

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

[](#installation)

Installation is best done through composer:

```
composer require --dev sidz/phpstan-cakephp2
```

You will need to make sure the extension is included in your phpstan config:

```
# phpstan.neon
includes:
  - vendor/sidz/phpstan-cakephp2/extension.neon
```

If you have behavior classes in odd locations (perhaps in a vendor directory) you will need to add those locations to your configuration. For example:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
  ModelBehaviorsExtension:
    behaviorPaths:
      - vendor/my-vendor/my-plugin/src/Model/Behavior/*.php
```

See `extension.neon` for the default list of behavior locations.

Features
--------

[](#features)

The following features are added to PHPStan:

- Treat behavior methods as extra methods on all models (`$model->behaviorMethod()`)
- Treat controller properties named after model classes as instances of those classes (`$controller->Model`)
- Treat controller properties named after component classes as instances of those classes (`$controller->Component`)
- Treat component properties names after component classes as instances of those classes (`$component->Component`)
- Treat `ClassRegistry::init($className)` as returning an instance of `$className` where possible
