How to generate getter and setter in eclipse (php)

Question

Usually, I use eclipse to work with Java, so when I want to work with PHP, I use eclipse too.

But I don't know how to generate getter and setter for class variables. When I do a right click, I don't have the menu Source -> Generate Getter / Setter.

How to do this with php in eclipse ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I was looking for something similar to these two alternatives. I found one that is free and seems to be updated regularly, so I'm leaving the link here for others to come: PDT Extensions(and the snapshot version).

And here's the gitub site.

Addons for the eclipse PHP development tools. Provides code formatting and code generation like

• getter/setter generation
• new class wizard
• interface method implementation
• and other features

Answer 2

It seems like the E-surf plugin is what you need. From the features page:

The main features added in 1.0.0 (current) version:
- Possibility to handle multiple PHP classes in one source file
- Additional generated methods sort mode (first setters, then getters)
- Improved main menu access - only when a suitable PHP editor is available

Answer 3

A good answer is here: What is the best way to auto generate getters and setters for a class in php?

Create a template then you can use CTRL+Shift to execute it

private $$${PropertyName};
${cursor}    
public function get${PropertyName}() 
{
  return $$this->${PropertyName};
}

public function set${PropertyName}($$value) 
{
  $$this->${PropertyName} = $$value;
}

Thanks erisco for the great answer
