Generate PHP DocBlock annotations for DataObject and DataExtension databasefields and relation methods

silverstripe-ideannotator

, _(*1)

This module generates @property, @method and @mixin tags for DataObjects, PageControllers and (Data)Extensions, so ide's like PHPStorm recognize the database and relations that are set in the $db, $has_one, $has_many and $many_many arrays., _(*2)

The docblocks can be generated/updated with each dev/build and with a DataObjectAnnotatorTask per module or classname., _(*3)

A word of caution

This module changes the content of your files and currently there is no backup functionality. PHPStorm has a Local history for files and of course you have your code version controlled... I tried to add complete UnitTests, but I can't garantuee every situation is covered., _(*13)

Windows users should be aware that the PHP Docs are generated with PSR in mind and use \n for line endings rather than Window's \r\n, some editors may have a hard time with these line endings., _(*14)

This module should never be installed on a production environment., _(*15)
