			0 ignored issues – show Bug Best Practice introduced 2016-04-18 13:52 UTC by Report Bug Copy Issue Report The return type of `return $this;` (`Charcoal\Cms\AbstractSection`) is incompatible with the return type of the parent method `Charcoal\Model\AbstractModel::setTemplateIdent` of type `Charcoal\View\ViewableTrait`. If you return a value from a function or method, it should be a sub-type of the type that is given by the parent type f.e. an interface, or abstract method. This is more formally defined by the Lizkov substitution principle, and guarantees that classes that depend on the parent type can use any instance of a child type interchangably. This principle also belongs to the SOLID principles for object oriented design. Let’s take a look at an example: class Author { private $name; public function __construct($name) { $this->name = $name; } public function getName() { return $this->name; } } abstract class Post { public function getAuthor() { return 'Johannes'; } } class BlogPost extends Post { public function getAuthor() { return new Author('Johannes'); } } class ForumPost extends Post { /* ... */ } function my_function(Post $post) { echo strtoupper($post->getAuthor()); } Our function `my_function` expects a `Post` object, and outputs the author of the post. The base class `Post` returns a simple string and outputting a simple string will work just fine. However, the child class `BlogPost` which is a sub-type of `Post` instead decided to return an `object`, and is therefore violating the SOLID principles. If a `BlogPost` were passed to `my_function`, PHP would not complain, but ultimately fail when executing the `strtoupper` call in its body. Loading history...

			0 ignored issues – show Documentation Bug introduced 2016-05-04 20:49 UTC by Report Bug Copy Issue Report It seems like `$templateOptions` can also be of type `string`. However, the property `$templateOptions` is declared as type `array`. Maybe add an additional type check? Our type inference engine has found a suspicous assignment of a value to a property. This check raises an issue when a value that can be of a mixed type is assigned to a property that is type hinted more strictly. For example, imagine you have a variable `$accountId` that can either hold an Id object or false (if there is no account id yet). Your code now assigns that value to the `id` property of an instance of the `Account` class. This class holds a proper account, so the id value must no longer be false. Either this assignment is in error or a type check should be added for that assignment. class Id { public $id; public function __construct($id) { $this->id = $id; } } class Account { /** @var Id $id */ public $id; } $account_id = false; if (starsAreRight()) { $account_id = new Id(42); } $account = new Account(); if ($account instanceof Id) { $account->id = $account_id; } Loading history...

			0 ignored issues – show Bug Best Practice introduced 2016-04-18 13:52 UTC by Report Bug Copy Issue Report The expression `$type` of type `string\|null` is loosely compared to `true`; this is ambiguous if the string can be empty. You might want to explicitly use `!== null` instead. In PHP, under loose comparison (like `==`, or `!=`, or `switch` conditions), values of different types might be equal. For `string` values, the empty string `''` is a special case, in particular the following results might be unexpected: '' == false // true '' == null // true 'ab' == false // false 'ab' == null // false // It is often better to use strict comparison '' === false // false '' === null // false Loading history...

If you return a value from a function or method, it should be a sub-type of the type that is given by the parent type f.e. an interface, or abstract method. This is more formally defined by the Lizkov substitution principle, and guarantees that classes that depend on the parent type can use any instance of a child type interchangably. This principle also belongs to the SOLID principles for object oriented design. Let’s take a look at an example: class Author { private $name; public function __construct($name) { $this->name = $name; } public function getName() { return $this->name; } } abstract class Post { public function getAuthor() { return 'Johannes'; } } class BlogPost extends Post { public function getAuthor() { return new Author('Johannes'); } } class ForumPost extends Post { /* ... */ } function my_function(Post $post) { echo strtoupper($post->getAuthor()); } Our function `my_function` expects a `Post` object, and outputs the author of the post. The base class `Post` returns a simple string and outputting a simple string will work just fine. However, the child class `BlogPost` which is a sub-type of `Post` instead decided to return an `object`, and is therefore violating the SOLID principles. If a `BlogPost` were passed to `my_function`, PHP would not complain, but ultimately fail when executing the `strtoupper` call in its body. Loading history...
