Typed repositories

[ro0NL]

Would be nice if $em->getRepository(SomeRepository::class) worked; to provide actual typed repository return value

[greg0ire]

It's already supposed to be the case:

orm/src/EntityManagerInterface.php

Lines 25 to 31 in 9d4f54b

	* @psalm-param class-string<T> $className
	*
	* @psalm-return EntityRepository<T>
	*
	* @template T of object
	*/
	public function getRepository(string $className): EntityRepository;

[ro0NL]

no i mean concrete SomeRepository, not generic EntityRepository<SomeEntity>

[ro0NL]

TLDR; SA tools are unaware of custom repository methods

There are plugins for Psalm and PHPStan that solve this issue. I don't see a way to solve this on our side, sorry.

[ro0NL]

assuming you actually considered implementing getRepository($entityOrRepositoryClassname) it can be typed as such: @psalm-return (T is EntityRepository ? T : EntityRepository<T>)

[derrabus]

But that call would be ambiguous. We e.g. wouldn't know for which entity we need to load that repository. Also you would need to rewrite your code.

Just use those plugins. They do the job.
