rtcamp/wp-phpstan

rtCamp's shared PHPStan baseline for WordPress projects.

It ships a single phpstan.neon.dist of rtCamp defaults (level 5, WordPress-aware rules) and pulls in szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress, which loads the WordPress function stubs and dynamic return-type extensions PHPStan needs to understand core.

Install

composer require --dev rtcamp/wp-phpstan

This brings phpstan/phpstan and szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress (and the WordPress stubs) along with it — you do not need to require them separately.

Use

Create a phpstan.neon.dist at your project root that includes this baseline, then point PHPStan at your code:

includes:
    - vendor/rtcamp/wp-phpstan/phpstan.neon.dist

parameters:
    paths:
        - src
        - includes
    excludePaths:
        - vendor
        - node_modules
        - build
        - tests
    # Project-specific overrides and suppressions go here.

That single include is all you need. Run the analysis with:

vendor/bin/phpstan analyse

The WordPress extension must load exactly once. This baseline already includes szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress, and loading it twice fails PHPStan. So: don't include its extension.neon in your own neon, and if you use phpstan/extension-installer, make it skip the package in composer.json:

"extra": {
    "phpstan/extension-installer": {
        "ignore": ["szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress"]
    }
}

Overriding

Anything you set under parameters after the includes wins, so a project can raise the level, add paths, or add ignoreErrors without forking this baseline. Per-project suppressions belong in your own neon — keep this shared file clean.
