You can do that. Of course, PHP's native types are quite limited, but a phpdoc syntax should work with static analysis tools. For instance:
reply /** @psalm-type MyobjType = object{mystring: string} */
/**
* @param MyobjType $myobj
*/
function (object $myobj): void
- For Psalm, see https://psalm.dev/docs/annotating_code/type_syntax/utility_t...
- For PHPstan, see https://phpstan.org/writing-php-code/phpdoc-types
It may work in your IDE (autocompletion, etc.) but there is no standard on this side. Some IDE have their own parsers, others use one of the LSPs for PHP.
Yeah, at the moment we use arrays as anonymous objects and phpdoc+phpstan to verify the types, but I want it in the language. PHP already supports intersection and union types, it really feels like just skipping the naming part and going all in on structural typing is not that far fetched by now.
