true/false in union types displayed as bool.

reio

function name(): array|false {} will generate a preview of function name(): array|bool instead of the more accurate array|false.

reio

The above is still shown as bool. As are:

function false(): false {}

function true(): true {}

reio

This is still true in the current version (1.59.17674).

thank you for reminding me

JakubMisek

fixed, will be in the next update (1.60+)

thanks!

reio

Wonderful, thank you!

reio

Next step to consider. :) Now if you assign an array|false to a variable, the variable still shows array|bool, instead of array|false.

function test(): array|false { return []; }

Properly tooltipped as function test(): array|false

$v = test();

$v tooltipped as (local variable) array|bool $v

reio that is correct, it is limitation of our editor so it only remembers the type and not the actual value. We can do some improvements, to "fake" this behaviour though.

I'm just thinking true and false are standalone types nowadays.
