Netbeans code completion

[owenmartin]

Hi,

I’ve followed the instructions for netbeans code completion, and I now get all the basic Yii methods etc, however, I seem to be missing some, such as Yii::app()->user does not appear, although if I add it, and run the project, everything works as expected.

I’m a bit new to Yii, so any help would be much appreciated

This also applies to JetBrains PhpStorm (WebIDE). One of the solutions is, for example in YiiBase.php on line 68 write something like

/** @var CApplication */

private static $_app;

and then in CApplication.php add to class definition

/** @var CWebUser */

public $user;

This simple comments will enable IDE’s ability to autocomplete and other functions related to variables’ type.

For example

Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact', 'Thanx <img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />');

will not be unregonizable by IDE any more.

I hope devs will add it sometime, because I have seen this comments in sources already, but not everywhere. It would be great if, at least, all most common variables will be properly commented.
