FAQPage Schema
How do I configure PHPStan static analysis for a WordPress project?▼

To configure PHPStan static analysis for WordPress, you set up a phpstan.neon configuration file and ensure WordPress stubs are loaded via Composer so core functions and plugin APIs become resolvable.

Why does PHPStan report undefined functions when scanning WordPress plugins?▼

PHPStan reports undefined functions in WordPress plugins because it lacks core API definitions. Installing WordPress stubs provides the necessary PHPDoc annotations and type definitions to resolve these functions.

What's the best way to handle third-party plugin classes in PHPStan?▼

The best way to handle third-party plugin classes in PHPStan is by generating stubs or using targeted ignores in your phpstan.neon configuration to safely manage external code type safety.

How do I generate a PHPStan baseline to track existing errors in WordPress?▼

Generate a PHPStan baseline by running the static analysis command with the baseline flag, which creates a phpstan-baseline.neon file to track existing errors and prevent new regressions.

Do I need Composer to run PHPStan on WordPress code?▼

Yes, you need Composer to run PHPStan on WordPress code because it manages the PHPStan installation and provides the WordPress stubs required to make core functions and hooks resolvable.

Can I use PHPStan to type check WordPress REST API and hooks?▼

Yes, PHPStan can type check WordPress REST API and hooks by applying WordPress-specific PHPDoc annotations and utilizing stubs to ensure proper type safety for these core features.
