@phan-assert-if-true

The @phan-assert-if-true tag asserts the given type for an argument or variable when the function returns true. It belongs to the same assertion family as @phan-assert and its counterpart @phan-assert-if-false.

"@phan-assert-if-true" <Type> <Variable> [ <Description> ]

Parsing a @phan-assert-if-true tag produces an AssertIfTrueTag instance, carrying the asserted $type and $variable alongside the $name and optional $description every Tag already provides.

final class AssertIfTrueTag extends TypedVariableTag {}

The same AssertIfTrueTag is produced by @psalm-assert-if-true and @phpstan-assert-if-true, which restate the same assertion for their respective tools.
