Error Identifier: property.hookWithoutBody
Every error reported by PHPStan has an error identifier. Here’s a list of all error identifiers. In PHPStan Pro you can see the error identifier next to each error and filter errors by their identifiers.
Code example #
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
class Person
{
public string $name { get; set; }
}
Why is it reported? #
In PHP 8.4+, property hooks (get and set) must have a body unless the property is declared abstract in an abstract class. A hook without a body (e.g., get; instead of get { ... }) is only valid for abstract properties, where the implementation is deferred to child classes.
In the example above, Person is not abstract and the property $name is not abstract, so the hooks must provide their implementation bodies.
How to fix it #
Add bodies to the property hooks:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
class Person
{
- public string $name { get; set; }
+ public string $name {
+ get => $this->name;
+ set => $this->name = $value;
+ }
}
Or if the intention is to defer the implementation, declare both the class and the property as abstract:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
-class Person
+abstract class Person
{
- public string $name { get; set; }
+ abstract public string $name { get; set; }
}
Or remove the hooks entirely if the property does not need custom get/set logic:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
class Person
{
- public string $name { get; set; }
+ public string $name;
}
