1. Extension Compatibility Check

composer.json Update

{
    "require": {
        "php": "^8.2",
        "typo3/cms-core": "^13.0 || ^14.0"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "phpstan/phpstan": "^1.10",
        "rector/rector": "^1.0"
    }
}

ext_emconf.php

<?php
$EM_CONF[$_EXTKEY] = [
    'title' => 'My Extension',
    'version' => '3.0.0',
    'constraints' => [
        'depends' => [
            'typo3' => '13.0.0-14.99.99',
        ],
    ],
];

2. Rector Configuration for PHP 8.4

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use Rector\Set\ValueObject\LevelSetList;
use Ssch\TYPO3Rector\Set\Typo3LevelSetList;

return RectorConfig::configure()
    ->withPaths([
        __DIR__ . '/Classes',
        __DIR__ . '/Tests',
    ])
    ->withSets([
        LevelSetList::UP_TO_PHP_84,
        Typo3LevelSetList::UP_TO_TYPO3_14,
    ]);

3. Common PHP 8.4 Fixes

Implicit Nullable

# Find all occurrences
grep -rn "= null" Classes/ | grep -v "?.*= null"

// Fix pattern
// Before
public function setUser(User $user = null): void

// After
public function setUser(?User $user = null): void

Deprecated Functions

Check for deprecated function usage:

ddev exec vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --level=9

4. PHPStan for PHP 8.4

phpstan.neon

parameters:
    phpVersion: 80400
    level: 9
    paths:
        - Classes
    excludePaths:
        - Classes/Domain/Model/*

5. Testing Matrix

GitHub Actions

    strategy:
      matrix:
        php: ['8.2', '8.3', '8.4']
        typo3: ['^13.0', '^14.0']
        exclude:
          - php: '8.2'
