I've gotten so used to have everything be clickable or navigable in PhpStorm. "I wonder what that function deep in the vendor folder looks like?" - I command click on Mac or ctrl click on Linux (or command+b/ctrl+b), and boom I go to the function definition. I don't know how I lived without it in the past.
But when I was writing a lot of Twig this spring I was sad that the file in Twig was not navigable like this:
It took me forever to find out how to set it up. You need to install the Symfony plugin and either manually add the namespace under "Languages & Frameworks" -> "PHP" -> "Symfony" -> "Twig/Template":
- or even better, you can add a file called ide-twig.json where you tell the editor where to find files from a namespace. If you namespace was called "mynamespace" your file could look like this:
{
"namespaces": [
{
"namespace": "mynamespace",
"path": "templates/stuff"
}
]
}
where the path is relative to your Twig templates.
The feature with the ide-twig.json file was added in the Symfony Plugin in version 0.11.110 years ago, but I've not come across much documentation for it. So now it's in this blog post.
