In PHPStorm, the Code Hinting for an object array is simple and awesome;
class FooList {
public function __construct(){
$this->_fooList[] = new Foo(1);
$this->_fooList[] = new Foo(2);
$this->_fooList[] = new Foo(3);
$this->_fooList[] = new Foo(4);
}
/**
* @return Foo[]
*/
getFoos() {
return $this->_fooList;
}
}
So if I do...
$fooList = new FooList();
foreach($fooList as $foo)
{
// Nice hinting.
$foo->FooMethod...
}
PHPStorm understands that $fooList is an array of Foos, and therefore knows that $foo's type is Foo.
The problem is that I want an array of FooList.
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
foreach($fooList as $foo)
{
// No code hinting for $foo :(
}
}
I know that you can code hint manually inside the foreach, like...
foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
foreach($fooList as $foo)
{
/** $var $foo Foo */
// Code hinting, yay!!
}
}
Or ...
foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
/** $var $fooList Foo[] */
foreach($fooList as $foo)
{
// Code hinting, yay!!
}
}
But I think that is ugly, as $listOfLists is build of Foo arrays, it should know what I am talking about without reminding it every time I implement a listOfLists.
Is there a way to implement this?
