Array element type lost when assigning to array

[juneszh]

I packaged a DB class and return the instantiation from class medoo, but there isn't any auto-complete suggestion from medoo when i coding use DB. Is that anything wrong in my code?

With array you need to specify return type:

    public static function init($source = 'master') : Medoo
    { /*...*/ }

Or:

    /**
     * @return Medoo
     */
    public static function init($source = 'master')
    { /*...*/ }

Without array extension should be able to recognize return type on its own, but when you explicitly write types there is greater chance to catch bugs and prevent unexpected behavior.

@bmewburn There is something wrong with type detection: when new instance is added to array then mysqli type becomes mixed

  /**

Thx! It's helpful for me.

It appears to be generalising the property type to array which shouldn't be the case.
