Give Piotr‘s Composer.json plugin for PhpStorm a try. This comes in very handy when working on the bin or autoload properties in composer.json. The plugin also checks if referenced files exist and if not, provides a quick-fix to create it for us. For example when adding a property that is not allowed according to the specs, the plugin will tell us and provide a quick-fix ( Alt+Enter) to remove the erroneous entry. Many other nice little gems are available when working on the composer.json file. Inspections and quick-fixes for composer.json files Start typing and press Tab to have the plugin complete the package name and jump into the version specification. There’s also completion for dependencies and their versions, which are queried against. For every property, the plugin knows what the possible values are and provides the necessary suggestions. When we start adding properties, the plugin provides completion ( Ctrl+Space / CMD+Space ) for all property names known in the composer.json schema, including a description of the property. Let’s add a composer.json file to our project. The green Install plugin button will download and install the plugin into our IDE.Ī quick restart of the IDE, and we’re good to go! Composer.json completion In the pane that opens, click Browse repositories… and search for PHP composer.json support. Open the settings ( Ctrl+Alt+S or CMD+, on Mac OS X) and click Plugins. We’ll have to install the Composer.json plugin for PhpStorm. Let’s see! Installing the pluginįirst things first, of course.
Next to the UI for managing dependencies and completion for Composer’s command line tool that comes with our IDE, Piotr Śliwa‘s Composer.json plugin for PhpStorm adds completion and inspections for working with the composer.json file directly. That awesome community just extended PhpStorm’s support for Composer. This awesome community brought us Composer, a dependency manager for PHP which lets us install and update packages from and makes it easy to package up our own projects and make them available to the world.
What makes PHP great is the community that is building frameworks, libraries and nice tools.
