how to write javadoc for var without defining it? [message #1751279] Fri, 06 January 2017 21:45 Go to next message

I'm wondering if there's some way to write javadoc comments in an included/required PHP file such that I can assign datatypes to variables defined outside that document so that I get all the cool autocompletion features for my classes.

I ask this because of the way CodeIgniter loads its views. You define controllers to handle user requests and these have methods which load views:
// a controller method
public function mycont() {
  // blah blah do some stuff

  // define an array of data to send to the view
  $data = array(
    "var1" => "i am var one",
    "var2" => "I am var 2"
    "var3" => $someCrazyObject
  );
  $this->load->view("myview", $data); // loads myview.php
}

then, within myview.php the array keys are instantiated as variables in the local scope:
// myview.php
echo $var1; // outputs i am var one
echo $var2; // outputs i am var2


Sadly, when I open myview.php in PDT, Eclipse doesn't know that $var3 is an instance of the class SomeCrazyObject so I don't get the amazing eclipse code completion features and so on. Is there some way to declare a javadoc comment for $var3 without altering its value?

Just put something like this on top of your variable (Of course you may omit the namespace if the class is already "used"):

/** @var $var3 \MyNamespace\SomeCrazyObject */

That should do the trick.
