Does anyone know how to save typing in PhpStorm when you create a class constructor and you want to assign all the parameters to the respective class fields? I write it by hand now and I can do it quite quickly with the autocomplete feature, yet it is still a very tedious process.
For example:
class Foo
{
private $param1;
private $param2;
private $param3;
public function __construct($param1, $param2, $param3) {
// Can I somehow automatically generate the following lines:
//
// $this->param1 = $param1;
// $this->param2 = $param2;
// $this->param3 = $param3;
//
//?
}
}
Use "Initialize fields" intention. For that: place caret on one of the parameters and invoke QuickFix menu (Alt + Enter or by clicking on light bulb icon).
In case you want to have PhpStorm generate the constructor too you can go to Code -> Generate -> Constructor. This will take care of inserting the parameters you want as well as their initialization.
Or press Alt+Insert
and choose Constructor...
If you move the cursor to the word '__constructor', within a second or two a lightbulb pops up. when you press it you get an option "Initialize properties". If you select that option a popup appears where you can specify for which argument you want to create and assign a property.
