Inspections

Eloquent: column without annotation

This inspection tells that you should declares the @property annotation on class that refers to each database columns. It is useful to determine the column type, getting a better IDE code support.

This inspection affects only models that extends the Eloquent\Model class, direct or indirectly.

$user = new User;
$user->name; // <-- should annotate @property $name if still not do

Features

• Check for id column annotation;
• Check for columns annotations from class properties: $casts and $dates;
• Check for columns annotations from accessors and mutators methods;
• Check for columns annotations from relationships methods;
• Check for columns annotations from model instance references (eg. $user->name);
• Check for created_at and updated_at when the property $timestamps = true;
• Check for deleted_at column when using the SoftDeletes trait;
• Quick-fix available;

Auto type-guessing

From 0.2.0 release, this inspection will try to guess the type based on some conditions:

• For id (or $primaryKey) column, always will be int (except if other type defined on $keyType);
• For any column suffixed _id consider as int;
• For any column suffixed _at consider as \Carbon\Carbon;
• For accessors, try to guess from the return type;
• For mutators, try to guess from accessor return type, if it exists;
• For any column declared on $casts property, consider the cast type (eg. => "int", then int, see supported casts at Laravel docs);
• For any other case, will consider mixed;

Fluent: property without annotation

This inspection tells that you should declares the @property annotation on class that refers to each Fluent properties. It is useful to get a better IDE code support.

This inspection affects only instances that extends the Fluent class indirectly (see examples below).

$data = new \MyNamespace\MyFluentChild;
$data->value; // <-- should annotate @property $value if still not do

$data = new \Fluent;
$data->value; // <-- nothing

Fluent: should not be instantiated directly

This inspection tells that you should not instantiate a Fluent instance directly. You should create a child class to make possible customize it (as annotating it with @property).

$data = new \Fluent;                    // <-- invalid: should not be instantiated directly
$data = new \MyNamespace\MyFluentChild; // <-- acceptable
