Description

The main scope of this extension is to help PHPStan to detect the type of object after the Assert\Assertion validation.

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
use Assert\Assertion;

function demo(?int $a) {
	// ...

	Assertion::integer($a);
	// PHPStan is now aware that $a can no longer be `null` at this point

	return ($a === 10);
}

Supported Assertions

This extension understands the following Assertion static methods and narrows types accordingly:

integer, string, float, numeric, boolean, scalar, objectOrClass, isResource, isCallable, isArray, isInstanceOf, notIsInstanceOf, true, false, null, notNull, same, notSame, subclassOf, integerish, keyExists, keyNotExists, propertyExists, methodExists, classExists, interfaceExists, notBlank, isJsonString

nullOr* Prefix

Every supported assertion can be prefixed with nullOr to accept null in addition to the asserted type:

Assertion::nullOrString($value);
// $value is string|null

all* Prefix

Every supported assertion can be prefixed with all to narrow the item type of arrays and iterables:

/** @var mixed[] $values */
Assertion::allInteger($values);
// $values is array<int>

The allNot* prefix is also supported for allNotNull, allNotIsInstanceOf, allNotSame, and allNotBlank.

Fluent Chain API

The extension supports Assert::that() chains including ->nullOr() and ->all() modifiers:

Assert::that($value)->string();
Assert::that($value)->nullOr()->string(); // string|null
Assert::thatNullOr($value)->string();     // string|null
Assert::that($values)->all()->string();   // array<string>
Assert::thatAll($values)->string();       // array<string>

The function-style API (Assert\that(), Assert\thatNullOr(), Assert\thatAll()) is also supported.
