PhpStorm Metadata Export¶

Export PhpStorm Advanced Metadata from DI containers to enable code completion.

The library is inspired by Pimple Container Dumper for Silex but it doesn’t require IDE plugin because it uses native PhpStorm export format. It also supports Slim and is extensible to support more DI containers and frameworks in future.

Installation¶

Install by composer

composer require sandfoxme/phpstorm-metadata-export --dev

Documentation¶

Usage¶

The library has integration classes available for PSR-15 compliant frameworks and legacy Slim. By default exporter will create directory .phpstorm.meta.php in the root path of your project (where vendor directory is) and put metadata file to it on every request. It is a good idea to enable integration components only in development environment. Don’t forget to gitignore your .phpstorm.meta.php directory.

Using Generator directly¶

<?php

use SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Generator;

$container = new Container();

file_put_contents(
    '/path/to/project/.phpstorm.meta.php/my_export_file.meta.php',
    Generator::get([$container])
);

// OR

Generator::store(
    '/path/to/project/.phpstorm.meta.php/my_export_file.meta.php',
    [$container]
);

PSR-15¶

The library provides a middleware implementation for PSR-15 compliant framework like Slim 4 or Mezzio. It generally uses the same approach as the earlier Slim Middleware. The classname is SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\ContainerExportMiddleware.

<?php

use SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\ContainerExportMiddleware;

$middleware = new ContainerExportMiddleware($container);

// You can also override metadata filename like this
$middleware = new ContainerExportMiddleware($container, [
    // it is a good idea to use full path here
    'filename' => '/path/to/project/.phpstorm.meta.php/my_export_file.meta.php',
]);

// Register middleware the way your compliant framework allows it
$myPsr15CompliantApp->registerMiddleware($middleware);

Slim 3¶

ContainerExportMiddleware can also work as a legacy Slim 3 middleware. Add it to your Slim 3 app:

<?php

use Slim\App;
use SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\ContainerExportMiddleware;

$app = new App();

$app->add(new ContainerExportMiddleware($app->getContainer()));

// You can also override metadata filename like this
$app->add(new ContainerExportMiddleware($app->getContainer(), [
    // it is a good idea to use full path here
    'filename' => '/path/to/project/.phpstorm.meta.php/my_export_file.meta.php',
]));

Supported Containers¶

Pimple¶

The library supports Pimple DI version 3.*

Supported containers:

Pimple\Container: full support
Pimple\Psr11\Container: may be unstable
Pimple\Psr11\ServiceLocator: may be unstable

PHP-DI¶

The library has full support for the PHP-DI version 6.*

Laminas (Zend) ServiceManager¶

The library has partial support for the Laminas ServiceManager and Zend ServiceManager. Please note that there’s no open and public way of iterating over SM entries so the implementation is tied to the internal structure not covered by the semantic version compatibility promise. Feel free to open an issue if it is broken for some scenario.

Abstract factories and lazy services are not supported. Abstract factories support is impossible. Lazy services support would be too complicated.

The library is tested against Zend SM version 3.3 and should work with any 3.* version

Upgrade¶

1.x to 2.0¶

PHP requirement was bumped to 7.1.
Legacy namespace SandFoxMe\\ was removed, replace it with SandFox\\ if you still use it.
Silex integration was removed. Just don’t use EOL’d frameworks, switch to Slim, Mezzio or Symfony Flex. If you still need it, you can create your own provider based on the ContainerExportProvider from 1.x branch. (source)
SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\Psr15\ContainerExportMiddleware and SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\Slim\ContainerExportMiddleware were combined into SandFox\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\ContainerExportMiddleware. Replace accordingly.
