PHPStan-CakePHP2

PHPStan extensions to help test CakePHP 2 projects with PHPStan

Requirements

PHP 7.4
phpstan/phpstan 1.9+
cakephp/cakephp 2.x

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

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
