This Psalm plugin brings static analysis and type support to projects using Laravel. Our goal is to find as many type-related bugs as possible, therefore increasing developer productivity and application health. Find bugs without the overhead of writing tests!
| Laravel Psalm Plugin | PHP | Laravel | Psalm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.x | ^8.0 | 8, 9, 10 | 4, 5 |
| 1.x | ^7.1 | 5, 6, 7, 8 | 3, 4 |
See releases for more details about supported PHP, Laravel and Psalm versions.
composer require --dev psalm/plugin-laravel
./vendor/bin/psalm-plugin enable psalm/plugin-laravelIf you didn't use Psalm on the project before, you need to create a Psalm config:
./vendor/bin/psalm --initRun your usual Psalm command:
./vendor/bin/psalmYou can customize Psalm configuration using XML config and/or cli parameters.
Recommendation: use baseline file and increase
errorLevel at least to 4: this way you can catch more issues. Step by step set errorLevel to 1 and use Psalm and this plugin at full power 🚀.
Under the hood it just runs https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper and feeds the resultant stubs into Psalm, which can read PhpStorm meta stubs.
It also parses any database migrations it can find to try to understand property types in your database models.
Both! It's fine to use both tools at the same project: they use different approaches to analyze code, and thus you can find more bugs! Psalm and PHPStan use almost same the syntax annotations, so you should not have any conflicts.
