Netbeans自动完成类方法

Question

i've started a project working with Google Drive API, google libraries installed via composer, i primarly work with NetBeans IDE and i've never used object oriented PHP. I only worked with C# so i'm new to PHP. THe problem is that i got some class but autocomplete doesnt show any properties or methods of classes.

$files = $drive->files->listFiles(array())->getFiles();

OR

foreach ($files as $file){
      $res['name'] = $file->getName();
      $fileres[] = $res;
  }

It should like whisper methods getId() , getTrashed(), but it doesn't. I know that in Visual Studio this would work, but in NetBeans it doesn't. Is there any way to get autocomplete to work?

Answer 1

The getFiles() method is documented to return Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile.

This might be a documentation error. It is likely to return Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile[] (array of file objects) since that makes more sense... But I cannot test this right now.

If that is indeed the case, you can hint the $file variable type like this:

foreach ($files as $file) {
    /* @var $file Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile */
    $res['name'] = $file->getName();
    $fileres[] = $res;
}

Then you should get code-completion.
