phpDocumentor/TypeResolver is a PHP library that parses PHPDoc type expressions (PSR-5) and resolves them into an object-oriented type system. It provides two main resolvers: TypeResolver, which converts a type string like 'string|int[]' into a tree of Type value objects (e.g., Compound, Array_, String_), and FqsenResolver, which resolves relative Fully Qualified Structural Element Names (FQSENs) to absolute ones using namespace context. The library leverages phpstan/phpdoc-parser for tokenizing and parsing the type syntax, then maps the AST to its own immutable type hierarchy. A ContextFactory extracts namespace and use-import information from PHP source code via token_get_all, enabling accurate resolution of relative class names. The type system covers primitives, compound types (unions, intersections), generics, callable signatures, array shapes, conditional types, integer ranges, and many pseudo-types (class-string, numeric, etc.). The library is a foundational component for phpDocumentor and other static analysis tools.

The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:

A robust, self-contained utility that extracts the namespace and use-import statements from PHP source code using PHP's token_get_all. It implements a state machine that handles grouped use statements (e.g., use Foo\{Bar, Baz}), skips trait use and closure use, correctly handles string interpolations with curly braces, and normalizes namespace aliases. This component is isolated (only depends on PHP's tokenizer and ArrayIterator) and could be reused in any PHP static analysis tool to build a resolution context.

file: src/Types/ContextFactory.php ↗ | tags: #php-tokenizer #namespace-parsing #use-statement-extractor #state-machine

A base class for Compound (union) and Intersection types that provides automatic deduplication and flattening of nested aggregates. When adding a type, if the same type is already present or if the added type is itself an aggregate of the same kind, it flattens the hierarchy. This ensures that 'int|int' becomes just 'int' and 'A|(B|C)' becomes 'A|B|C'. The pattern is cleanly abstracted and reusable for any composite value-object system.

file: src/Types/AggregatedType.php ↗ | tags: #aggregation-pattern #type-deduplication #flattening #value-object

A focused resolver that transforms relative structural element names (e.g., 'Classy::method()') into fully qualified FQSENs using namespace context. It handles alias expansion and namespace prefixing in a few lines of clear, testable code. Though small, it demonstrates a clean separation of concerns and is a prime example of a single-responsibility resolver.
