-----------------

[](#unusedclassrule)

-----------------

[](#unusedtraitrule)

[](#install)

-----

```

Rules
-----

[](#rules)

---

### `UnusedClassRule`

[](#unusedclassrule-1)

This rule scans for class declarations and use statements. If a class is declared but not used within the scanned source files, an error is generated.

### Disabling the rule

[](#disabling-the-rule)

You can disable scanning classes as follows:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    unused_classes:
        classes: false
```

#### Excluding files

[](#excluding-files)

You can exclude directories and individual files from being scanned by this rule:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    unused_classes:
        excludePaths:
            - 'src/Controller'
            - 'src/MyUnusedClass.php'
```

### Excluding Services

[](#excluding-services)

By default, some known service and framework classes are excluded. There are a number of base classes from Symfony, Doctrine and PHPUnit that checked and, if matched, the class being analysed is ignored.

To disable this, set the *excludeFrameworks* property to false:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    unused_classes:
        excludeFrameworks: false
```

This list will change as new frameworks and classes are added. Please look at the source code in src/Frameworks for a list of base classes that are excluded.

If you want add a custom list of base classes to ignore, use the *baseClassExcludes* property:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    unused_classes:
        baseClassExcludes:
            - 'App\Service\MyAbstractService'
            - 'App\DI\MyDIClass'
```

Entries in *baseClassExcludes* are excluded regardless of the *excludeFrameworks* property value.

### `UnusedTraitRule`

[](#unusedtraitrule-1)

This rule scans for trait declarations and use statements. If a trait is declared but not used within the scanned source files, an error is generated.

### Disabling the rule

[](#disabling-the-rule-1)

You can disable scanning traits as follows:

```
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    unused_classes:
        traits: false
```

#### Excluding files

[](#excluding-files-1)

You can exclude directories and individual files from being scanned by this rule using the excludePaths parameter as shown above.
