PhpStorm and (PHPStan & Psalm) are supporting some new (and some not that new) array syntax for PHPDoc types, but for now PhpStorm will not auto-generate this types.

self: refer to the class a method was written inĬode: /** * static */ abstract function getFoo () : self 1.2 New (and not that new) Array Syntax.

static: refer to the class a method was actually called on.

$this: if you really return $this (e.g.

Because of „ late static binding“ you can use „static“ in your code to refer to the class a method was actually called on, even if the method is inherited. It‘s quite annoying that php itself currently only have „self“ as return type ( ) for the current class. Depending on your choice, PhpStorm will create the required tags or add an empty documentation stub.“ –Ĭode: /** * $row * * array */ abstract function formatRow (array $row ) : array 1.1 Return $this|static|self

PhpStorm creates stubs of „ PHPDoc blocks“ when you type the /** opening tag and press Enter, or press Alt+Insert and appoint the code construct (a class, a method, a function, and so on) to document. „For documentation comments, PhpStorm provides completion that is enabled by default.
