PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - parent classes directly in Code Navigator

Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2010 3:38 am

Hello!

Could it be possible to include parent classes and interfaces directly in Code Navigator? This would greatly improve code navigation.

EXAMPLE PHP CODE:

Code:

interface SomeInterface {}
class SomeOtherClass {}
class ParentClass extends SomeOtherClass {}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass implements SomeInterface {}

CURRENT CODE NAVIGATOR'S REPRESENTATION OF ChildClass

Code:

[-]class ChildClass extends ParentClass implements SomeInterface
:... ChildClass properties and methods ...

SUGGESTED CODE NAVIGATOR'S REPRESENTATION OF ChildClass

Code:

[-]class ChildClass extends ParentClass implements SomeInterface
:.[-]class ParentClass extends SomeOtherClass
: :.[-]class SomeOtherClass
: : :... SomeOtherClass properties and methods ...
: :... ParentClass properties and methods ...
:.[-]interface SomeInterface
: :... SomeInterface methods ...
:... ChildClass properties and methods ...

That's the default behavior of VisualStudio's Object Browser (and another nice reference to VS's awesomeness).

Very useful.

A full Hierarchy in the Code Navigator (eg: Uses, Used By) would help code navigation, and code understanding.

For those who work on larger projects, unfamiliar projects, or just want to "see" into their projects more - this would be wonderful.
