Why type: phpstan-extension is mandatory?

[kylekatarnls]

Hello, I'm considering adding an extension.neon in an existing library to help recognizing methods available via __call / __callStatic PHPStan can't recognize.

Extension's composer package type has to be set to phpstan-extension for this plugin to be able to recognize it.

The library itself is not a PHPStan extension (so I can't set type to phpstan-extension). But I would like than my library users who also use PHPStan get those methods recognized by PHPStan the easier way.

Creating an other package to handle the extension.neon + 1 small file seems overkill too.

And finally, I think having a extra.phpstan property is enough to recognize a library that includes PHPStan files. Why requiring this additional phpstan-extension flag?

Thanks.

I'm not sure. Is there a reason for the type @lookyman?

Anyway, phpstan/extension-installer can afford to be opinionated. It doesn't have to be used by everyone. You can always include your extension.neon manually in your project's phpstan.neon.

Hi,

I'm in the same situation here.
I am trying to create a phpstan extension for mapado/rest-client-sdk, and I would prefer include the phpstan files directly in the library because they are really coupled.

I think we can replace in https://github.com/phpstan/extension-installer/blob/master/src/Plugin.php#L85

- if ($package->getType() !== 'phpstan-extension') {
+ if ($package->getType() !== 'phpstan-extension' || !isset($package->getExtra()['phpstan']['includes'])) {

I am willing to make a PR if you are OK with this.

This condition is wrong, you need negated one.

@ondrejmirtes Done

There really isn't a reason for the package type. I think I just wanted a safeguard for the installer to kick in. I'm fine with removing it.

I think it’s great for finding compatible packages on Packagist: https://packagist.org/explore/?type=phpstan-extension

But it should be optional in the definition.

Solved with #16.
