Extension Details

⚠️ Do NOT use/replace Intelephense just yet! but feel free to play around with it 😜

This extension ports the excellent
phpactor Language Server for use
with Nova! with An Important Language.

I find phpactor far superior to Intelephense because of the limitless
refactoring possibilities it offers for PHP 🐘 projects. Nova 🌌 is a
perfect fit for this language server, making it easy to utilise all its
features via the code action.

⚠️ Tutorials, examples, and detailed usage instructions will be added once the
pesky bugs 🐞 are fixed.

Requirements

phpactor requires some additional tools to be installed on your Mac:

The extension automatically downloads a copy of the latest phpactor executable
(no manual download required).

• Composer
• Git
• PHP 8.1+
• you also need to require PHP 8.1+ as a platform package in your
  composer.json see below 👇

Project Recommendation

• As noted by
  phpactor

  phpactor will perform better with Composer and, to a lesser extent, with
  git.

• If you're working with a commonly used PHP frameworks like Laravel,
  Symfony ,no additional setup is needed 😊.
• For raw PHP projects, you’ll need a properly configured Composer project.
  To get the bare minimum support for the PHP standard library do the
  following:

shell git init \ composer init \ composer require php ^8.1 \

• Having a proper PSR standard configured in your composer.json, greatly
  enhances the refactoring options available.
• The more detailed your composer.json the more value you’ll get out of
  phpactor! 😝

Usage

🔜 Coming Soon

Configuration

• the default configuration locations are used. Refer to the
  the docs
• I will add a dump command in the future to export the current
  configuration in your project's root

**/workspace/.phpactor.yml

~/.config/phpactor/phpactor.yml

/etc/xdg/phpactor/phpactor.yml

To Do

• [ ] Adding the possibility not to download phpactor, if the exec already
  exist in you PATH or give you an option to use your own. It only
  downloads once when the extension is loaded!
• [ ] Add commands to support few of the missed out refactoring actions
• [ ] Configuration via Nova GUI
• [x] Better error handling
• [x] Providing useful extension notification like downloading, completing or
  any corresponding error
