Static Analysis with PHPStan

Lighthouse encourages the usage of static analysis with PHPStan (opens new window).

Stub Files

WARNING

Using _ide_helper.php as a stub file is deprecated and will be removed in v7. With Larastan (opens new window) 3.12 or later, it causes the error class.duplicate. Larastan recognizes the mixin methods without the stub file, so remove it from your configuration.

Lighthouse enhances some classes defined in other projects through mixins. Without Larastan, configure PHPStan to recognize the generated file as a stub:

# phpstan.neon
parameters:
  stubFiles:
  - vendor/nuwave/lighthouse/_ide_helper.php
