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 Arokettu\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. The classname is Arokettu\PhpStorm\Metadata\Integration\ContainerExportMiddleware.

<?php

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

$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',
]));
