Upgrade autocompletion: class constants about idea-php-annotation-plugin HOT 7 CLOSED

also reported at symfony2 plugin Haehnchen/idea-php-symfony2-plugin#311.

do you have some reallife examples?

from idea-php-annotation-plugin.

If the class names and class constants below would be part of the auto completion dialog, that would work perfectly for me:

/**
 * @Route Routes::TEACHER_REGISTRATION_INVITE
 * @Method Methods::POST
 * @ContentType MimeTypes::APPLICATION_JSON
 * @Accept MimeTypes::APPLICATION_JSON
*/
public function booger () { }

Basically these are completions that will trigger within class methods. So Routes for instance is just a class, no specific comment blocks within that class that would be required to make it appear.

Use case would be that I can limit suggestions for classes after the @ by using the @annotation comment, but can then pass any class constant as argument to it. This way I can put f.i. all my Routes in a single wrapper class for easy maintenance and easy request mapping because autocompletion :)

I noticed by default it is wrapped within (), I could work with that, if it makes it easier to implement:

/**
 * @Route(Routes::TEACHER_REGISTRATION_INVITE)
 * @Method(Methods::POST)
 * @ContentType(MimeTypes::APPLICATION_JSON)
 * @Accept(MimeTypes::APPLICATION_JSON)
*/

And actually, I wouldn't mind if I'd have to annotate the classes to appear in the arguments suggestion box either. Preferably not all the constants though, as that could become quite a number (many URLs).

The Symfony2 supports using constant in annotation, so we've used constants for set group validation in the annotation.

use MyBundle\ValidationGroup;

/**
  * @var string
  *
  * @ORM\Column(type="string", nullable=false)
  * @Assert\NotNull(groups={ValidationGroup::CREATE})
  */
private $name;

The Phpstorm's plugin doesn't highlighted use block and doesn't suggest anything in annotation.

then just use ´ClassName::.*´ for "Optimize Imports" detection. completion events is a little bit harder, need to think in which situations allow this, first.

completion and goto are in. references (Optimize Imports) not possible, because of api limits. only "@tag" is accessible, i can attach class there, but thats not really nice.

You sir, are a king.
This certainly looks like it'll be good to work with. Using the *@Routes(Class::constant) format gives me excellent suggestions, dropdowns and all. The *@Routes Class::constant format gives the tooltip once I've typed Class::c and hit ctrl+space (so hinting based on first char(s)), while the (Class:: will hint me all constants in the class when I hit ctrl+space. Very nice, thanks.

"Optimize Imports" will go with new phpstorm8 api #22
