Missing dynamic return type for Nette\Http\Session::getSection()

[KacerCZ]

Method Nette\Http\Session::getSection() has optional second parameter which can change class of returned object.
This extension does not support it and always returns Nette\Http\SessionSection class.

Hi, could you provide PHP code examples of these 2 states? (I don't use Nette on this level)
I might try to add the extension then 👍

Here is the definition of method: https://github.com/nette/http/blob/04224e7fd25c70390419b463f4e2b26042ea5e2a/src/Http/Session.php#L314

In following examples $sessionHandler is instance of \Nette\Http\Session.

Example using default class for session section:

$section = $sessionHandler->getSection('mySection');

Variable $section contains instance of \Nette\Http\SessionSection.

Example using diferent class for session section:

class MySection extends \Nette\Http\SessionSection {}

$section = $sessionHandler->getSection('mySection', MySection::class);

Variable $section contains instance of MySection.

I think this is similar case and you can handle it with stub. I think something like this:

/**
  * @template T of \Nette\Http\SessionSection
  * @phpstan-param class-string<T> $class
  * @phpstan-return T
  */
public function getSection(string $section, string $class = SessionSection::class): \Nette\Http\SessionSection
