Larastan was created by, and is maintained by Nuno Maduro, and is a phpstan/phpstan wrapper for Laravel. Larastan focuses on finding errors in your code without actually running it. It catches whole classes of bugs even before you write tests for the code.

• Supports Laravel's beautiful magic.
• This package is still in development. Please report false positives using GitHub issues.

Requires:

• PHP 7.1.3
• Laravel 5.6

You may use Composer to install Larastan as a development dependency into your Laravel project:

composer require --dev nunomaduro/larastan

Once you have installed Larastan, you may start analyzing your code using the code:analyse Artisan command.

php artisan code:analyse

If you would like to provide your own configuration, you can create a phpstan.neon or phpstan.neon.dist file in the root of your application. It might look like this:

includes:
    - ./vendor/nunomaduro/larastan/extension.neon
parameters:
    level: 5
    ignoreErrors:
        - '#Access to an undefined property App\\Demo\\[a-zA-Z0-9\\_] ::\$[a-zA-Z0-9\\_] \.#'
        - '#Call to an undefined method App\\Http\\Resources\\DemoResource::DemoMethod\(\)\.#'
    excludes_analyse:
        - /*/*/FileToBeExcluded.php

For all available options, please take a look at the PHPStan documentation.

Once you have installed Larastan, create a file phpstan.neon.dist on the root of your package with the content:

includes:
    - ./vendor/nunomaduro/larastan/extension.neon
parameters:
    level: 5
    paths:
        - src

Start analyzing your code using the analyse PHPStan command.

./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse

You can choose from currently 8 levels: (0 is the loosest and 7 is the strictest) by passing --level to analyse command. Default level is 5. You can also use --level max as an alias for the highest level.

php artisan code:analyse --level=max

You can choose which directories you want to analyze, by default, the analyzed directory will be the app.

php artisan code:analyse --paths="modules,app,domain"

By default, Larastan outputs found errors into tables grouped by files to be easily human-readable. To change the output, you can use the --error-format CLI option.

The available options are: checkstyle, raw, table, json, prettyJson.

php artisan code:analyse --error-format table
