I have a collection of custom objects (Podcast) in an array.
When I use a foreach loop to iterate through this collection, I don't have code completion on the variable that contains the object pulled out of the collection (as I would in C#/VisualStudio for instance).
Is there a way to give PHP a type hint so that Eclipse knows the type of the object being pulled out of the collection so it can show me the methods on that object in intellisense?
<?php
$podcasts = new Podcasts();
echo $podcasts->getListHtml();
class Podcasts {
private $collection = array();
function __construct() {
$this->collection[] = new Podcast('This is the first one');
$this->collection[] = new Podcast('This is the second one');
$this->collection[] = new Podcast('This is the third one');
}
public function getListHtml() {
$r = '';
if(count($this->collection) > 0) {
$r .= '<ul>';
foreach($this->collection as $podcast) {
$r .= '<li>' . $podcast->getTitle() . '</li>';
}
$r .= '</ul>';
}
return $r;
}
}
class Podcast {
private $title;
public function getTitle() { return $this->title; }
public function setTitle($value) { $this->title = $value;}
function __construct($title) {
$this->title = $title;
}
}
?>
Addendum
Thanks, Fanis, I updated my FOREACH template to include that line automatically:
if(count(${lines}) > 0) {
foreach(${lines} as ${line}) {
/* @var $$${var} ${Type} */
}
}
