Does Doctrine/PHP integration offer Autocomplete in IDE?

Question

Using PHP + Doctrine I get this:

    //retrieve data
    $entityManager = $this->getEntityManager();
    $all = $entityManager->getRepository('\Entity\ServiceType')->findAll();
    foreach($all as $value)
        $options[$value->getId()] = $value->getServiceType();

Autocomplete within IDE does not suggest methods that follow ->, namely things like getId(), and getServiceType().

And PHP does not offer (easy) casting to desired type....

You will need to typehint for the IDE to know what type of model the repository reutrns.

The getRepository method returns a Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository, which, when calling findAll() has no idea what type of entity it is you are trying to find (while find all returns a array).

/** @var \Entity\ServiceType[] $all */
$all = $entityManager->getRepository('\Entity\ServiceType')->findAll();

Should do the trick.

Edit:
Apparently not all IDE's support this. If that is the case, you can create a typehint comment inside the foreach loop for the $value variant instead:

/** @var \Entity\ServiceType[] $all */
$all = $entityManager->getRepository('\Entity\ServiceType')->findAll();
foreach($all as $value) {
    /** @var \Entity\ServiceType $value */
    $options[$value->getId()] = $value->getServiceType();
}

First hint for any of the devs in the team that uses the Jetbrains IDEs and the second for the rest!

did not work for `$all`, but did for `$value` – Dennis Sep 29 '15 at 18:06
Sorry for that, edited the comment to look as it should. I.E., its an `array`, so the `[]` is required for it to be hinted as a list of `ServiceType` objects. – Jite Sep 29 '15 at 18:06
well ... tried all of them but does not work for all... still – Dennis Sep 29 '15 at 18:08

Ah, it might be a limitation in Zend studio. Then your typehint on the `$value` solution should work. The above solution should work fine in any of the jetbrains php IDE's though. :) – Jite Sep 29 '15 at 18:10

This appears to work (v12.5):

    foreach ($all as $key => $value)
        /**
         * @var $value ServiceType
         */
        $options[$value->getId()] = $value->getId();

This appears to work as well (v13.0):

    /**
     * @var $all ServiceType
     */
    foreach ($all as $key => $value)
       $options[$value->getId()] = $value->getId();
