Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require symplify/phpstan-extensions --dev
```

**Symplify Error Formatter
------------------------

[](#symplify-error-formatter)** Update your `phpstan.neon` config:

```
parameters:
    errorFormat: symplify
```

- Do you want to **click the error and get right to the line in the file** it's reported at?
- Do you want to **copy-paste regex escaped error to your `ignoreErrors`**?

Works best with [anthraxx/intellij-awesome-console](https://github.com/anthraxx/intellij-awesome-console)

```
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src
```

↓

```
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/Command/ReleaseCommand.php:51

- "Call to an undefined method Symplify\\Command\\ReleaseCommand\:\:nonExistingCall\(\)"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
```

Improved Symfony Types
----------------------

[](#improved-symfony-types)

#### `ContainerGetTypeExtension`

[](#containergettypeextension)

With Symfony container and type as an argument, you always know **the same type is returned**:

```
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Container;

/** @var Container $container */
// PHPStan: object ❌
$container->get(Type::class);
// Reality: Type ✅
$container->get(Type::class);

// same for in-controller/container-aware context
$this->get(Type::class);
```

#### `KernelGetContainerAfterBootReturnTypeExtension`

[](#kernelgetcontainerafterbootreturntypeextension)

After Symfony Kernel boot, `getContainer()` always returns the container:

```
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel;

final class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    // ...
}

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);
$kernel->boot();

// PHPStan: null|ContainerInterface ❌
$kernel->getContainer();
// Reality: ContainerInterface ✅
$kernel->getContainer();
// Reality: ContainerInterface ✅
```

#### `SplFileInfoTolerantReturnTypeExtension`

[](#splfileinfotolerantreturntypeextension)

Symfony Finder finds only existing files (obviously), so the `getRealPath()` always return `string`:

```
use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;

$finder = new Finder();

foreach ($finder as $fileInfo) {
    // PHPStan: false|string ❌
    $fileInfo->getRealPath();
    // Reality: string ✅
    $fileInfo->getRealPath();
}
```

Happy coding!
