Add mixed type declaration to FieldTypeInterface::render() $data parameter for BC layer

[Prometee]

Background

The FieldTypeInterface::render() method in src/Component/FieldTypes/FieldTypeInterface.php currently has a $data parameter without an explicit type declaration. The docblock indicates @param mixed $data, but the parameter itself lacks the mixed type hint.

Current Implementation

public function render(Field $field, $data, array $options);

Proposal

Add the explicit mixed type to the $data parameter to align with modern PHP standards and maintain backward compatibility:

public function render(Field $field, mixed $data, array $options);

Benefits

• Aligns the method signature with its documented behavior
• Improves type safety and IDE support
• Prepares the codebase for stricter type enforcement in future PHP versions
• Maintains backward compatibility as mixed accepts any type

• All implementations of FieldTypeInterface will need to be updated accordingly

Tasks

• Update FieldTypeInterface::render() to include mixed type for $data parameter
• Update all implementations of FieldTypeInterface in the codebase
• Run tests to ensure BC is maintained
• Update documentation if needed
