Generics in depth

Read Original

This article explores generics in PHP, explaining they are more than just typed collections. It demonstrates practical examples like a generic dependency container function and details how static analyzers (PhpStorm, Psalm, PhpStan) use docblock annotations to provide type safety and IDE support, despite PHP's lack of native runtime generics.
