DeprecatedMethod

A method declaration is marked @deprecated. This is reported on the method itself to signal that it is a deprecated API entry point. Call-site violations are reported as DeprecatedMethodCall.

Note

This issue kind is defined but not yet emitted by the analyzer. Call sites of deprecated methods currently produce DeprecatedMethodCall (MIR1001).

Example

<?php
class Api {
    /** @deprecated Use newMethod() instead */
    public function oldMethod(): void {}

    public function newMethod(): void {}
}

How to fix

Remove the @deprecated annotation once all callers have migrated, or keep it to signal to users that the method should not be used.
