PHPStorm plug-in workshop

[garethellis36]

Just noting down some ideas for a plugin I want to develop out of @ascii-soup 's proposed work-shop.

CakePHP plugin (update CakeStorm?)

• Add auto-complete support for App::uses() calls
• Similarly, add support for automatically adding an App::uses() call to top of PHP file when a class is instantiated or called statically (similar to how PHPStorm does this with vanilla PHP use)
• Add intention to add a docblock property for associated models (see below); ditto for auto-loaded model in Controller
• Add a view file from a controller. Perhaps via ALT+ENTER. PHPStorm would prompt user for view file name and then know which folder to save it in based on the controller name (e.g. app/Controller/UsersController.php would have views in app/Views/Users/. If it could create the file from a file template that would be even better. Alternatively to ALT+ENTER, current CakeStorm has shortcut CTRL+ ; s (ctrl and semi-colon at same time, then 's') which gives quick-jump options from Controller to its view files. A shortcut could be added here to create a new view file.
• Smart-jump for elements/view files, e.g.:

Pressing ctrl-B on the string "element_name" should open app/View/Elements/element_name.ctp.

//in a view file
<?= $this->Element("element_name") ?>

Pressing ctrl-B on the string "view_file" should open app/View/Users/view.ctp:

//UsersController.php
$this->render("view");

We could probably add an Inspection for classes that have been used without
an App::uses() call and add an intention (alt+enter) to add the appropriate
cake import. Not sure if that would be enough

Example for 3rd bullet:

<?php

/**
 * Class ClientsContact
 * 
 * @property Client $Client
 * @property Region $Region
 */
class ClientsContact extends AppModel
{
    public $belongsTo = [
        "Region",
        "Client",
    ];
}

With cursor on the $belongsTo field, there should be an intention to add it as a docblock property. The same applies to the other model associations (hasMany, hasOne and hasAndBelongsToMany).

Can I get an idea of numbers please - anyone who wants to attend could you reply for me?
Also, need to start thinking about dates. I'd like it to be on a Saturday so we can have the whole day (plus some pub time at the end) and Gareth has requested that this be before May.

If we start looking at April, how are people fixed for the 2nd, the 9th and the 16th?

Also, we'd need a venue. @olorton is this something White October would be willing to provide?

[garethellis36]

👍

All those dates are fine for me. The only Saturday in April I couldn't make is the 30th.

If WO doesn't work, I can ask if we can charge a meeting room at the Milton Park business centre to my company...

[ascii-soup]

If that doesn't work, how much do those meeting rooms go for?

[ascii-soup]

A fair bit, by the looks of it: £125 - £230

[garethellis36]

Yeah £125 for a 6-person roundtable or £230 for 12/15 person boadroom. Bigger options also available.

[ascii-soup]

Well I'd like to keep the numbers to a minimum really..!

[liquorvicar]

2nd and 9th are best for me. If WO can't do it, I could ask Elsevier if we could do something there...

[ascii-soup]

To be fair, WGT would probably let us do it here, but the projector is pretty low res.

[garethellis36]

I've asked my boss if we can "sponsor" it. I've pitched it as a training cost, shouldn't be an issue in monetary terms.

[ascii-soup]

👍

[garethellis36]

No problem for us to sponsor it. Can probably get food & drinks paid for as well.

Shall I set-up a Doodle for collecting availability dates?
