CodeLobster IDE

I think it would benefit some people if there was a thing on the side on Code Lobster that let you declare PHP Variables. It would just be a table where you could put a variable (like $var1) and then it gets added to the autocomplete list. This could also be disabled, and it would work like it does now.

Hi.

Codelobster creates variables list for autocompelte automaticaly while code parsing.
If you don't see your variables in the autocomplete list - please, send us your code files. We will check it.

No, I can see it, but I think there should be a side bar that you could put PHP variables in, (like $var1), and the auto compleate ONLY takes variables from that, because if you type in $RellyLongVariableNumber1
instead of $ReallyLongVariableNumber1 just once, you would get confuzed later, and it might take a while to check all the variables.(of course, this could be turned off, and it would work like it does now.)

What do you think?

Hi.

Autocomplete for PHP variables works OK.
Take a look at the following:

Here is a picture of what I'm suggesting:


1: the place you "declare" variables.
2: underlined because not declared (typo)
3: underlined because not declared (forgot to do it)
4: enable/disable button. Disabled is what it is now.

If you typed in "$" onto this screen shot, the auto complete would come up with all the things on the right side, not devide or RellyLongVariableName

What do you think?

Hi.

After typing variable name in the string number 4 it appears for autocomplete list and in the Class View and File Window.

About correct using of variables names: We will apply this functionality later while more complex task with code checker.

I think your taking this the wrong way.
This is an SUGGESTION

NOT a support topic. I am NOT having any trouble with it.

I am trying to suggest that you haver the choice to declare PHP variables, so you won't get mixed up with other variables.

In the picture in my last post, I was typing "$RellyLongVariableName" without looking at the screen, so then it got added to the auto complete.

When I was copying and pasteing it, it didn't show and error or anything, because it thought that is was a legal variable.

If you made this suggestion and added it to Code Lobster, I would have added "$ReallyLongVariableName" to the right side, then I enabled the declaring function, the "$RellyLongVariableName" would be underlined blue, and I could change it.

What do you think?

Hi.

Big thanks again.
We undestand that you make a suggestion

As I said, we will apply code validation after several versions.
So, if you type incorrect variable name (that hasn't been declared) it will be highlighted. I think it will cover your case also.

Codelobster Team.

Thankyou!
