Eclipse PDT Plugin for CodeIgniter |
Hi,
I´m a long time java developer, used to Eclipse tools. Now I´m starting development with PHP and CodeIgniter. I'm trying to use Eclipse PDT, but as far as I looked, there's no support for work with CodeIgniter (code completion). Does anyone knows how to get this working? Thanks

I think that the main problem is that CI 3 doesn´t support full PHP namespace.
I never saw how it is on CI 4. Hope that they write in this way.
I use Eclipse Oxygen. Right click (Ctrl click) to get the Properties menu. Select PHP > Source Paths > Include Path. Then use the "Add External Source Folder" button to add the CI system directory.

It seems that it doesn't work on CI 3. After adding system folder I couldn't get code completions. Screenshot attached.
It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that the way CI is structured doesn't lend itself to code completion. For example, form_validation is not declared as a class property but is rather dynamically attached to the controller. The lack of autocomplete functionality in CI is due to a combination of dynamically attached/loaded properties and the way that Eclipse relies on class declarations and/or javadoc comments to generate your autocomplete options.
I have achieved some autocomplete happiness by extending the CI_Controller class with my own and declaring my own custom controller properties in it. |
