v2.0.0

Highlights

This release is a ground-up rewrite of the extension. The headline feature is Model and Entity type inference driven by your real database schema: the extension materializes your schema by running your migrations against a temporary SQLite database, then uses it to type your models, entities, and fetched rows.

Important

This is a major release with breaking changes. Read the Upgrade Guide before upgrading.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• PHPStan ^2.2
• CodeIgniter 4 ^4.7
• The sqlite3 PHP extension (new, powers the schema layer)

What's new

Model and Entity type inference

Resolved from your live schema instead of heuristics (closes #17, #19, #25):

• Model::find(), findAll(), first(), and findColumn() return the precise row type for the model's $returnType (an entity, a shaped array{...} of columns, or a stdClass), honoring asArray(), asObject(), and the select() field list (aliases, table.*, and joined columns).
• Entity virtual properties are typed from the entity's $casts and $dates (including custom $castHandlers) layered over the backing database column.
• fake() returns a single fabricated record of the model's return type.

See the type inference docs for the full list.

Rules

• The superglobals rules were split into four (SuperglobalsOffsetAccess, SuperglobalsOffsetAssign, SuperglobalsOffsetUnset, SuperglobalsGlobalAssign), now also catching whole-array assignment. Most are auto-fixable with vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --fix.
• The config() / model() ::class discouragement rule was removed.

Breaking changes

• PHPStan ^2.2 and the sqlite3 extension are now required.
• Rule identifiers and messages changed (the superglobals split/rename and the removed discouragement rule), so existing baseline entries will no longer match and must be regenerated.

See the Upgrade Guide for the full migration steps.
