PHPStorm auto-complete support

[ercanozkaya]

Add auto-complete support for Kodekit::getObject('identifier') calls.

For example $cls = \Kodekit::getObject('database.query.select'); should properly detect $cls is an instance of \DatabaseQuerySelect

It is working on my end.

This looks awesome. Can the script just write the whole file, including the static bits rather than copy-pasting?

[ercanozkaya]

@oligriffiths I added the script in the most rudimentary form possible. Hoping to make it generic enough to be able to generate class maps for other components as well but not sure when I can get to it.

@ercanozkaya Good work! @oligriffiths welcome back!

[oligriffiths]

I've been lurking in the shadows ;)

I'm curious how often PhP storm checks this file if it's in the root of your project and how it gets updated. Looks like it's just plain PhP, which makes me wonder, could we do some runtime wizardry to auto generate this stuff from the configured loader/locators for the main application... 🤔

[johanjanssens]

We probably can create a generator cli for this?

[oligriffiths]

Might have a play and see what I can come up with. Interested to see how symfony does it as they have a similar issue with their container, however their container is driven from tank/xml files, so easier to construct ahead of time. Basically a file system => identifier generator is what would be needed. Also needed for any composer installed components.

@oligriffiths @ercanozkaya Would using https://github.com/timble/kodekit/blob/master/code/object/manager/interface.php#L81 be an option? The object manager can give you the class for an identifier. This would allow you to build the lookup tree?

[oligriffiths]

I think that's the wrong way round. We need to be able to map identifiers to class names, but we don't know the identifiers from the file system, only the classes.
