Description

Hi,

This is a change request to make it easier for PHPStan to check the code and IDEs to give helpful hints.

As an example

public/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Controller/EditDocumentController.php

Line 541

$tce = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(DataHandler::class);

this should be changed to

/** @var DataHandler $tce */
$tce = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(DataHandler::class);

And I would like to suggest a change for coding styles like this.

Same file line 1079

$file = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ResourceFactory::class)->getFileObject($fileUid);

This should be change in general to something like

/** @var ResourceFactory $resourceFactory */
$resourceFactory = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ResourceFactory::class);
$file = $resourceFactory->getFileObject($fileUid);

Only this way PHPStan and your IDE knows what to expect and navigating from one file to the next is just a click away.

Thanks

Can this issue be closed ? As the patch is abandoned.

Generally, the core ships with phpstorm metadata, and also a phpstan extension is used (in core) which exactly helps with this. If you need this for phpstan in your project, you should also require the corresponding phpstan extension friendsoftypo3/phpstan-typo3

Maybe VS Code has some similar to PHPStorm meta files or the DynamicType plugin file .. if yes, we may add these along to the core. But type annotation comments has been removed actively, also to avoid eventually wrongly overriden or missinterpeted annotations.

Yeah.

I guess we can close here: The core monorepo .phpstorm.meta.php file should make phpstorm understand the generics. I assume other IDE's either understand that file as well (maybe with a plugin), or, if they want some other file, we could add them as well, of course.

For phpstan, the plugins should solve it.

Thanks a lot, PHPStorm meta file is exactly the right way to do this.

The naming is a bit misleading, but works as intended.

Although I had to add this line to the .phpstorm.meta.php to get it to work.

override(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance(0, 1), map(['' => '@']));
