Hello -,
PHP Tools for Visual Studio extension is getting exciting new features, improvements, and fixes! Welcome to our newsletter, and thank you for using our tools.
The January update of PHP Tools for Visual Studio introduces tons of improvements and fixes. We have fine-tuned the IntelliSense and started recognizing more PHPDoc type annotations used by various frameworks such as Symfony, Laravel, PHPStan, PHPCS, WordPress, and others. Additionally, there are new custom formatting options, improved performance, and memory efficiency.
IntelliPHP in Visual Studio 2019
It's been in Visual Studio 2022 for a while and now - we're adding our local AI suggestions to Visual Studio 2019 as well!
Refactorings
We're constantly adding new quick refactorings and improving existing ones. This update improves the following:
- Refactoring of
private properties
- Adding refactoring of property names specified inside
property_exists() function.
- Fixes generating implementation for abstract methods and interfaces.
- Added new quick refactorings for simplifying
?: conditional expressions.
