any way to trick intellisense?

///////// **** MILK **** ///////////////

class Milk
{
public $moo;

public function Milk()
{
$this->moo = false;
}
}

///////// **** COFFEE **** ///////////////


class Coffee
{
public $mYummyumm;
public $mMilk;

public function Coffee()
{
$yummyumm = true;
$mMilk = new Milk();
}

public function getMilk()
{
return $this->mMilk;
}


}

//==================================



$myCoff = new Coffee();
$myCoff->->mMilk->... // <- intellisense win will pop up
$myCoff->getMilk()-> //<- no intellisense for mMilk there

Is there a way to make the "Intellisense" window pop up here?
Yeah... I know... Rapid PHP can't really know what getMilk() is returning as the return value can't be defined in the function.

I often help myself by doing something like this:

$bMilk = new Milk()
$bMilk = $myCoff->getMilk();

$bMilk->... //<- will have intellisense window now....


But this often leads to errors in some cases when forgetting to delete the "new" line afterwards.

Is there some less troublesome way?




By the way... is there any way to make the & vanish from intellisense added functions which return a reference?

I am afraid there is no other way for now.
One solution I have thought about, is to specify the return value inside a function using a special comment. But this is only a thought.
To the date, I can not recall anybody else asking for this.
Cast your votes here, if you really need this ( I have moved the topic to Feature Requests)

You can not modify text returned by auto-complete. Do you mean there is a bug in current functionality?
If so, please give us an example.

Vote +1. (surprise!)
I'd love it. Really.
It would save so much time looking up members and methods and frickling around with fake "new"s.

edit: d'oh... better trick: if (false) $mMilk = new Milk; //Intellisense
This one can be kept in the code and will provide Intellisense if needed.

Sure.

I modified the example above to return a reference.

Code: Select all

class milk
{
  public $mMoo;

  public function milk()
  {
    $this->mMoo = true;
  }
}

class coffee
{
  public $mYummyumm;
  public $mMilk;

  public function coffee()
  {
    $yummyumm = true;
    $this->mMilk = new milk();
  }

  public function &getMilk()
  {
    $milkRef =& $this->mMilk->mMoo;

    return $milkRef;
  }


}

Now when typing...




Enter...



run script...
