How to automatically import the namespace of a class in VS Code?

Question

I want to add the namespace of a php class automatically with a shortcut/extension in vscode, but I can't find how to do this.

<?php 

namespace App\Models;


class Article {
}

Answer 1

Use this handy PHP Namespace Resolver extension for Visual Studio Code.

How to use:

1. Right click on any class name and select Import Class to automatically import it's namespace at the top of the file
2. Press CTRL+ALT+i on Windows / CTRL+Option+i on MacOS

Answer 2

Another way is to

1. highlight the class by double click on the class name.

2. press ctrl + space keys and then from the list, the namespace of the specific class can be seen.

3. select the desired namespace from the list by up-down arrow keys

4. press the Tab key to import the namespace automatically at above the page.

Hope this helps,

PHP Intelephense is the best extension I've ever used for this.

It provides both autocomplete and auto-import.
