Since Phinx targets PHP >= 7.2, it is safe and probably a good idea to include the
strict_types
declaration. How good of an idea? Well, not very good, because Phinx's API appears to be entirely devoid of scalar type hints and also missesarray
type hints in places where only arrays are valid. However, once these areas are updated, templates from now on will be configured correctly to take advantage of type hints and the errors generated by mismatching types. Without these type hints, PHP just emits warnings such asInvalid argument supplied for foreach()
, but continues regardless until something worse blows up later on.You will also notice I added a few other bonuses which can be reverted if it's too many changes for this PR. First is a
final
type declaration to signal that migrations are not intended to be inherited (there should be no use case for this). The second is thevoid
return type hint just to keep static analysers happy. Again, either of these can be reverted but it is not expected to be particularly contentious.
