DynamicReturnTypePlugin downloads statistics

Intellij/Phpstorm PHP plugin to allow a dynamic return type from ALL method/function calls, not just static methods.

It can use either the instance type of the passed parameter, string lookup or ::class. It can also use masking and custom javascript callbacks to massage the return type to enable aliasing.

Internal signature resolution has been completely reworked to allow better chaining/stability of results. It should also play nicely with other plugin service providers etc. It can be configured for :

• Instance method calls • Static method calls • Function calls

Full documentation with examples on github page for custom manipulation with rhino javascript versus the old mask methodology can be found here :-

Demo environment which is used to verify edge case are catered for ( example dynamicReturnTypeMeta.json etc. ) can be found here :-

https://github.com/pbyrne84/DynamicReturnTypePluginTestEnvironment

Accepts the following to calculate return type

• Parameter object instance( eg. new \DOMDocument() as a parameter instance value will infer a DOMDocument will be returned )

• Parameter string type ( eg. '\DOMDocument' as a parameter string value will infer a DOMDocument will be returned )

• Class constants that resolve to CLASS will resolve similar to the ::class feature in 5.5 behaves.

Configuration Example dynamicReturnTypeMeta.json configuration in project root

{

"methodCalls": [

{

"class": "\Phockito",

"method": "mock",

"position": 0

},

{

"class": "\Phockito",

"method": "verify",

"position": 0

},

{

"class": "\Phockito",

"method": "maskExample",

"position": 0

"mask": "Test%sModel"

}

],

"functionCalls": [

{

"function": "\verify",

"position": 0

},

{

"function": "\mock",

"position": 0

},

{

"function": "\maskExample",

"position": 0

"mask": "Test%sModel"

}

]

}

Position is the parameter index to infer the return type from.

Classes and function names must be fully qualified with a leading \ as per example.

Static method calls should behave the same as instance calls.
