Download the PHP package edalzell/dead-code-detector-laravel-actions without Composer

Two usage providers and one usage excluder for shipmonk/dead-code-detector, covering lorisleiva/laravel-actions.

This is a PHPStan extension, not a Laravel package. There is no service provider and nothing to publish.

For the Eloquent conventions shipmonk misses — trait hooks and #[Scope] attributes — see edalzell/dead-code-detector-laravel.

Installation

With phpstan/extension-installer the extension registers itself. Without it, add one line:

lorisleiva/laravel-actions is a suggestion, not a requirement. All three extensions match on trait names as strings and never reference a class from that package, so they load and do nothing when it is absent.

What each extension does

LaravelActionsUsageProvider — laravel-actions resolves a set of methods by name through its decorators: the four entrypoint adapters, and the validation and response hooks. Nothing calls them, so all of them read as dead. The list is literal rather than a prefix match, so a typo in an Action still fails loudly, and it is scoped to classes actually using one of the package's traits, so a rules() on an unrelated class is still reported. It also marks handle() used on a class using AsCommand, AsController, AsJob or AsListener directly: each decorator falls back to handle() when its asX adapter is absent, and whatever reaches it — a route, the scheduler, the queue — names the class, never the method. AsAction is deliberately not counted, since a class that says it is everything gives no signal about how it is reached.

LaravelActionsRunUsageProvider — Foo::run() reaches Foo::handle() through AsObject's trait body, which lives in vendor and is never analysed, so the detector never sees the call. Every Action used to pass anyway, by accident: shipmonk's Laravel provider marks any public handle* whose first parameter is class-typed as an auto-discovered listener, which every Action taking a model happened to satisfy. One with a scalar first parameter read as dead however many callers it had. This records the call the trait hides, for run, runIf and runUnless.

ActionListenerUsageExcluder — the flip side of that heuristic. Because it marks any class-typed-first-parameter handle as a listener, a genuinely dead Action taking a model was invisible: one shipped with no caller for a whole phase and nothing reported it. This subtracts that one invented usage — matched by the note shipmonk attaches to it, so real calls are untouched — for classes using AsObject but not AsListener. An Action that really is a listener keeps the heuristic, and so does the constructor, which laravel-actions resolves through the container either way.

Testing

The suite runs PHPStan over tests/Fixtures four times: once with the shipped extension.neon, and once per extension with that one service left out. Each run asserts the exact set of members reported dead, so removing any extension turns a test red with a named fixture rather than quietly changing nothing.
