Error Identifier: staticProperty.internalClass
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);
namespace App;
use Internal\Config;
$debug = Config::$debugMode;
Why is it reported? #
A static property is being accessed on a class that is marked as @internal. Internal classes are not meant to be used outside of their own package. Depending on their static properties creates a coupling to implementation details that can change at any time without following semantic versioning.
How to fix it #
Use the public API provided by the package instead of accessing internal class properties directly.
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace App;
-use Internal\Config;
+use Public\Settings;
-$debug = Config::$debugMode;
+$debug = Settings::isDebug();
