Models can have other models as properties, through relationships.

The properties are named after the relationship name, which is not necessarily the same as the model name.

• Correctly type $event in before() and after()
• Correctly type public properties which are added in the schema

Apply to all files which extend CakeSchema.

ClassRegistry::init() generally returns an instance of the class name provided. We should add a stub to indicate this.

composer.json says that PHP versions 7.2-8.x should work, but there are issues running it on versions other than 7.4:

• In 7.2 and 7.3 composer install fails, with required libraries not being compatible with PHP < 7.4
• In 7.2 and 7.3, even with compatible libraries, composer phpstan fails because a ReflectionEnum class we use is not compatible with PHP < 7.4 (due to phpstan bundling its dependencies, but not updating its requirements to match)
• In 8.0 we can't install cakephp/cakephp 2.x

Several of the functions in basics.php have the wrong return type. We should fix that.

Console commands can have task properties, named after the task.

Add stubs and/or extensions to handle things like

• find('count') returning int|false (not array)
• findByX
• findAllByX

Hi.

Thanks for this brilliant extension first of all.

I'm working with project where all Models don't have Model suffix. Like described in the official documentation (https://book.cakephp.org/2/en/models.html#understanding-models)

So in case we have Component and Model with the same name it leads to Call to an undefined method BasicComponent::some_method.

Code sample:

<?php

class BasicComponent extends Component {}

<?php

class Basic extends Model
{
    public function some_method()
    {
    }
}

<?php

class FakeController extends Controller
{
    public $uses = [
        'Basic',
    ];

    public function add_smth()
    {
        $this->Basic->some_method();
    }
}

As I can see component service is setup first so probably it found BasicComponent and tries to look method inside of it only and doesn't take into account that models is also exists.

Create a stub to correct the return type of ShellDispatcher::run() from void to 1|0.

We should add the following details to the README.md file:

• Requirements
• Installation
• Features
  • Model behaviors
  • Controller models
  • Controller components
  • Component components
  • ClassRegistry

Some people are trying to get CakePHP 2 running on PHP8...

They're mad, but we'll let them use this package to help.

If we allow PHP8, the require-dev list will still prevent development of this package, as the cakephp/cakephp ^2.10.24 requirement won't allow it.

Feature Request to handle Loading components on the fly

Controller component properties do not include the "Component" suffix. The test should be changed as follows:

From:

/** @var BasicController $controller */
$component = $controller->BasicComponent;

assertType('BasicComponent', $component);

to:

/** @var BasicController $controller */
$component = $controller->Basic;

assertType('BasicComponent', $component);

Console Commands can have model properties, named after the model name (like controllers).

FlashComponent::_call($name, $args) renders the message using app/View/Element/Flash/$name.ctp.

For example, $controller->Flash->success('My message') would render the message using app/View/Element/success.ctp.

We should check for the template's existence, and then provide the correct types etc.

Components can themselves have components using the $components property. We should add a property reflection extension to support this.

When checking whether a model exists (determining the types of controller properties, for example), check app/Config/schema.php if it exists, to get tables which don't have models. If it does, return a generic Model type.
