PhpStorm 2018.2 Build 182.3684.42

Completion:
Custom postfix completion templates:
- Postfix code completion has existed in PhpStorm since version 9, but only provided a limited number of predefined templates. PhpStorm 2018.2 takes postfix completion to the next level by allowing you to add custom postfix completion templates. Create templates to match your project and your personal coding style!

FQCN Completion:
- Completion now matches the namespace in addition to the element name. You don’t have to type or invoke completion for each part of IlluminateAuthEvents anymore – just type IAuE instead.

Refactorings:
Move Instance Method Refactoring:
- PhpStorm already the Pull Up/Push Down and Make Static/Move Static Method refactorings that help you move methods around. For handling the methods that cannot be made static or moved across the class hierarchy, PhpStorm 2018.2 introduces a refactoring that allows for moving an instance method to a parameter class or to a field class. Simply invoke the Move refactoring on a method declaration, and, if the new refactoring can be applied, you will see a dialog prompting you to choose the target class.

PHP Language:
Structural Search and Replace:
- In PhpStorm 2018.2, we’ve completely reworked Structural Search and Replace for PHP, which offers lots of new capabilities and greatly simplifies patterns creation. Now you can specify the type of Structural variable, which lets you, for example, find a call to the specific method where the first parameter is a string. You can use a simple pattern to find a foreach loop with an unconditional return statement, or even create your own inspection that will capture an unnecessarily double-quoted string, if your code style enforces this

Improved SQL Injections:
- In version 8, PhpStorm introduced basic support for string concatenations in Language Injections. The dynamic nature of the resulting strings and the strictness of the SQL parser caused a lot of false positive errors in SQL. In PhpStorm 2018.2, we’ve eliminated most such errors and introduced some new features, too. PhpStorm can now substitute the values of constants directly within the injected string, so you can run a query without copy-pasting their values. In addition, we’ve added support for SQL strings that use sprintf parameters

New Inspections and Quick Fixes:
PhpStorm 2018.2 delivers handy new inspections such as:
- Extension is missing in composer.json reports usages of classes/functions/constants from PHP extensions which are not specified in composer.json
- Non-canonical order of elements in PHPDoc reports tags such as @property, @param, @var, etc. that use a non-canonical order of elements e.g. name Type instead of Type name.
- Optional parameter before required parameter detects situations when an optional parameter appears before required parameters in a function/method declaration.

Web Technologies Support:
New JavaScript Intentions:
- To make you even more productive when working with JavaScript and TypeScript, PhpStorm has a bunch of new intentions that are available when you press Alt-Enter. Here are just some of them: Implement interface, Create derived class, Implement members of an interface or abstract class, Generate cases for switch, and Iterate with for..of.

Completion for events in Vue.js:
- In Vue templates, PhpStorm now provides code completion for events. Event names are suggested after v-on: or if you use the shorthand notation @event. There’s also code completion for event modifiers.
- As usual, all the features and improvements of WebStorm are available in PhpStorm, either out of the box or with free plugins available in the repository. Other noteworthy web-related features include TypeScript 2.9 and 3.0 support, the new Code Coverage feature that helps to find unused code, extract and convert React component refactoring, new integrations with Angular CLI, global file watchers, rerun failed tests and other.

IDE Improvements:
Updated UI:
- We’ve rolled out brand new icons and dark title bars on macOS. Furthermore, PhpStorm 2018.2 brings support for the MacBook Touch Bar! Run and debug your project, commit changes, and update the project right from the Touch Bar

VCS:
Version control comes with the following changes:
- Easier resolve of merge conflicts
- Enhancements in VCS Log tab
- Browse repository at revision
- Multiple GitHub accounts
- Skip the Push dialog

PhpStorm 2018.1.2 Build 181.4668.78

Syntax Highlighting in Quick Definition:
- Using the Quick Definition popup became more convenient: with added syntax highlighting, you can now read what exactly a function or a class is doing, without losing your current context.
- Flexible configuration of imports from the global namespace
- In the previous versions of PhpStorm, you could choose to either import everything (functions, classes, constants) from the global namespace or use FQN for functions and constants. We’ve listened to your feedback and realized that more flexibility is sometimes required. In PhpStorm 2018.1.2, you can control auto-import separately for classes, functions, and constants
- For classes, you can choose between “insert FQN” and “prefer import” (PhpStorm will insert import if this doesn’t result in a conflict). For functions and constants, the options are “insert FQN”, “prefer import”, and “prefer fallback” (you can refer to the PHP documentation for its exact meaning)

Notable bug fixes and features worth mentioning:
- Collapsing tree node does not collapses all subnodes (regression)
- Command Line Tools Console – Cursor Not In Run Box
- Incorrect variable name during phpDoc generation for field in case inferred type in constructor $this
- Goto definition’ on ‘new expression’ targeting parent class __construct instead of referenced class

- Subversion File History not working for links with spaces
- Typescript readonly type inference from const
- Add option to omit JsDoc types for TypeScript code


PhpStorm 2018.1.1 Build 181.4445.72

File-level suppression to PHP inspections:
- PhpStorm provides a lot of inspections to catch all sort of errors in your code, but it may occur that some particular code shouldn’t follow the standards set for the whole project. In previous PhpStorm versions, you were able to suppress a warning for a particular statement or declaration. PhpStorm 2018.1.1 brings the ability to suppress an inspection for the whole file: just add /**@noinspection <inspection_name> */ right after the first opening PHP tag or press ALT+Enter on the inspection warning and select Suppress for file in the submenu. You can also use /**@noinspection ALL */ to suppress all inspection for the file.

Required plugins for a project:
- Suppose you’ve found an essential plugin that would help a lot with developing your project (Symfony or PHP Annotations plugins are good examples of such plugins), and you want to make sure that everybody on your team is on the same page. Previously there was no way to let your colleagues know about the plugins without talking to them or writing the readme file. PhpStorm 2018.1.1 introduces Required plugins, which you can locate under Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Required Plugins. You can specify the plugins and their exact versions as the project’s requirements. After you’ve set them, PhpStorm will notify if the required plugins are missing or need an update.

Go to Type action:
- You might have already used the Navigate | Type declaration action when working with JavaScript or when using our other IDEs. It lets you navigate to the type declaration from any expression, and now it is available in PHP, as well.

Notable bug fixes and features worth mentioning:
- Incorrect ‘find usages’ / refactoring of __constructor of parent class WI-19518
- Indexing of large files WI-41378
- Deployment: context menu is missing if no default server is selected WI-40826
- Docker-compose: output isn’t shown WI-41002

PhpStorm 2017.3.3 Build 173.4301.34

REST Client: Auto-formatting of responses:
- In this build, we’ve implemented one of the new REST client’s most voted features: auto-formatting of request results. PhpStorm analyses Content-Type and formats the response accordingly. If type detection has failed for some reason, you can still choose between JSON, HTML and XML formatting manually. To see the original response, you can select the View as Text formatting type

Highlighting call-site in case of pass-by-reference:
- PHP 7.3 may introduce “Explicit call-site pass-by-reference” (RFC) that will allow prepending of a call-site argument with &. This should help to understand the code and notice possible unexpected changes of a variable. It’s still a year till the 7.3 release, but why wait?
- In this build, we’ve extended parameter hints with pass-by-reference visualization that will help you find a function or a method call that has reference declaration in a parameter. The new parameter hints will be shown for all arguments that are actually passed by reference. Please share your feedback about the new feature!
