Which type is correct?

Which is correct?

#[ORM\Column]
private int $id;

#[ORM\Column(length: 180, unique: true)]
private string $username;

or

#[ORM\Column(type: 'integer')]
private $id;

#[ORM\Column(type: 'string', length: 180, unique: true)]
private $username;

PHPStorm say the first is true!

[derrabus]

Both are correct.

@derrabus is it better to use this or not needed?

#[ORM\Column(type: 'integer')]
private ?int $id;

#[ORM\Column(type: 'string', length: 180, unique: true)]
private ?string $username;

like this: https://github.com/symfony/demo/blob/main/src/Entity/User.php

I ask this question for more security

[beberlei]

it has nothing to do with security, its a question of personal preference. you can decide for yourself.
