How can I tell PHPStorm to refactor namespaces and class names?

Question

I've noticed when I move a file in PHPStorm, it doesn't adjust the namespace at all. My project uses PSR-0, so directory structure mirrors the namespacing. Is it possible to have PHPStorm adjust the namespace when a file is moved?

Also, when renaming a file the class name is not changed and I then have to go in and rename the class. Is it possible to rename a file and the class in a single step?

I'm using 7.1.3

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue. The reason was that I was trying to move the file (from project view), instead of moving the class (right click on the name in the source code).

If you use the F6 refactoring, it will allow you to move the class and change the namespace at the same time: PHPStorm docs

However, you do need to have the directory namespace mappings setup:

Because my application is a Laravel app the root directory was not the source of the namespacing. PHPStorm has a new option as of 8.0 that allows you to specify a directory as the namespace root: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-22585
