PhpStorm 2018.1. EAP 181.3741.23
The new PhpStorm 2018.1 EAP build (181.3741.23) is now available! You can download it here or via JetBrains Toolbox App. Or, if you have the previous PhpStorm 2018.1 EAP build (181.3494.16) installed, you should soon get a notification in the IDE about a patch update.
This build delivers new features, bug fixes, and improvements for PHP and the Web, and includes the latest improvements in IntelliJ Platform.
Inline function/method refactoring
Sometimes a method’s body is more obvious than the method itself. The good solution for the situation is to replace the calls to the method with the actual method’s content. Since this may be tricky in some cases, we’ve implemented the Inline refactoring to help you with it.
Just put the caret on the function or static method call and invoke Refactor|Inline. If the refactoring is possible, PhpStorm will perform all the necessary transformations: create all intermediate variables, change self to the class name, and even handle multiple return points.
For now, PhpStorm will not allow you to inline non-static methods. As a workaround, you can use two refactorings, Make method static and Inline, in sequence. In the future, we plan to support the inlining of non-static methods, too.
Indication of the PHP Language Level sync status with composer.json
In the previous release, we’ve introduced settings synchronization with composer.json as an easy way to keep your PhpStorm settings in sync with your project. Unfortunately, this has also brought some confusion: when you change the PHP Language Level in the settings, it may still get reset after restarting PhpStorm due to the require section in composer.json.
To avoid this, we’ve redesigned the settings page to give you a better clue of what is going on.
New quick fixes: Replace foreach with array_filter and back
The quick fix that allows replacing foreach with array_map and vice-versa was warmly welcomed, so we’ve decided to continue development in this area. This time, we introduce the foreach to array_filter and the reverse – array_filter to foreach quick fixes.
Other features worth noting
- Updater should automatically download patch in background IDEA-46819
- Add support for markdown in jsdoc WEB-11052
Apart from new features, this build brings many important bug fixes and usability improvements, including these:
- Fixed: Support different names for tsconfig.json WEB-28091
