PHPStan and Laravel Breeze

If you are using Laravel Breeze along-side PHPStan, you are likely seeing an error in the Http/Controllers/Auth/VerifyEmailController.php controller on line 23.

Parameter #1 $user of class Illuminate\Auth\Events\Verified constructor expects Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail, App\Models\User|null given.

There are numerous ways to approach fixing this, but the quickest and easiest is to simply tell PHPStan to ignore it with a

/** @phpstan-ignore-next-line */

immediately before

event(new Verified($request->user()));

The full file with this change in place:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Verified;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\EmailVerificationRequest;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;

class VerifyEmailController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Mark the authenticated user's email address as verified.
     */
    public function __invoke(EmailVerificationRequest $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        if ($request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
            return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::HOME.'?verified=1');
        }

        if ($request->user()->markEmailAsVerified()) {
+           /** @phpstan-ignore-next-line */
            event(new Verified($request->user()));
        }

        return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::HOME.'?verified=1');
    }
}
