如何在IDE中为包含的PHP模板获取自动完成功能

Question

class Controller {

  protected $property1;

  protected function getUid(){
    ...
  }

  public function render($template, array $data){
     extract($data);
     ob_start();
     include $template;
     return ob_get_clean();
  }
}

Template example.php to be rendered in Controller::render()

<div><?php echo $this->getUid(); ?></div>

How to get autocomplete suggestions inside example.php for all methods and properties in Controller class? I'm using NetBeans and PhpStorm. Can I add reference to the class in template's PHPDoc block?

Answer 1

Just use PHPDoc comment with @var tag to typehint $this -- works fine in PhpStorm.

Please note:

• By default IDE will show public methods/properties only.
• To see protected/private members you will have to invoke code completion one more time -- <kbd>Ctrl + Space</kbd> (or whatever else you may have there on your computer/keymap).
