Statical analysis for Latte [WIP] by MartinMystikJonas

Continue of work started by @dg in #297

@dg: I just discovered unexpected behaviour of {parameters} tag. It limit what variables are available in template. But only at top level (inmain()) but in blocks parameters are always extracted from $this->params therefore unfiltered nad any passed param is available in block no matter what {parameters} defines.

It is bug right? Of is it for some reason expected?

[MartinMystikJonas]

Ok I think I have functional version that passes all tests I used in my previous PR.

I also changed behaviour of {parameters} tag so it also applies inside blocks. Instead of extracting $this->params it now extracts $this->prepare() and adds definition of types used in paramsExtraction (see tags/excpeted/parameters.inc8.phtml)

@dg LEt me know if you want to solve something differently

[MartinMystikJonas]

@dg One think I am not sure of is double meaning of varType. When used in template head it is interpreted as definition of type of parameter (so this type information is propagated inside blocks) and when used outside of head it is interpreted as definition of type of local variable.

I am not sure if this double meaning is ok. Maybe we should make {varType} just about local variables types and add something like {parameterType} to define types of template paramater. What do you think?

@dg @lulco @jakubvojacek @JanTvrdik @mabar Guys, could you check this version and let me know what do you think? I would like to finish this basic version.

Like I wrote somewhere, I'm using https://github.com/revealphp/reveal-src (previously in symplify) for some months maybe year already and it works like a charm for my projects.

@dg Hi. I would like to finish this feature. Is there anything I can do (aside from resolving that new conflict) to have this merged? I do not want to hurry you I just want to know if there is anything I can do.

We have our own PHPStan rule to check link() is valid destination, parameters and parameter types. It is working very nice for PHP code. In latte code we need to be able to recognize the variable type... (The PHPStan rule could be open sourced if anyone interested.

Anyway we would very appreciate to move this PR forward.

[MartinMystikJonas]

@janzimmermannnetrex I would like to see that rule.

@MartinMystikJonas see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YiJIllqQH3Iyb0rns-rYl2vLX_ro05IN/view?usp=sharing for inspiration. It is definitely not ready to use it as is in another project yet.

• We are trying to create a presenter instance during the static analyses (you need to include nette bootstrap in phpstan)
• We try to call the link() on presenter instance. It throws an exception once the link is not valid.
• It is similar for Latte as well.
  Sure I'd appreciate any ideas to improve it.
