TYPHP

typhp is a simple tool checks whether type hint for arguments or return type declared. Unlike static analysis tools, it doesn't point out possible errors and issues but suggests typehint everything possible.

For whom?

• Who works projects using PHP 7.1 and higher.
• Who doesn't want to point out missing type hint and return type declarations in code review process by using it as part of CI pipeline.
• Who love strict typing and defensive programming.

Features

• Respects phpdoc; there are some rare cases mixed or compound types are needed. If such cases documented in phpdoc, typhp doesn't complain. For example: @return array|bool, @param mixed $foo, etc.
• Takes magic methods into account.
• Analyses based on configuration. Include/exclude files and directories to be analysed. For optional config file, see the current project example
• Does NOT modifies your code

• Better configuration

• Check declare(strict_types=1) by config

• Phar file

• Auto deploy phar file to release assets & add self-update command

• Github Actions
