The new
GuardTokenInterface
is used as a marker to annotate a security token that is compatible with the new Guard component. I noticed that wheneverGuardTokenInterface
is annotated, the code expects the object to also implementTokenInterface
. This asummption is correct, but we should make it explicit. Especially when looking atGuardAuthenticationProvider::authenticate
method, I find it confusing that the doc block is incompatible with the type hint.With this tiny PR, I changed the annotations to
TokenInterface|GuardTokenInterface
where I found it helpful to do this. By doing this, I also found an unused import.An alternative approach could be declaring
GuardTokenInterface
as an interface that extendsTokenInterface
