The problem
The static analysis type hinting for
DataCollection::map(...)
andDataCollection::through(...)
expect the return type of the passed closures to match the same type of each item within the collection. Typically themap
method of arrays, or Laravel collections, is used to transform a collection of items into something different (i.e. a different collection of items, who's types may not match the initial collections types).Currently, this expectation can lead to static analysis errors such as:
The fix
The fix here is is to add another template to both these methods
TMapValue
to use as the return type, which may or may not be the same type as items in the collection
