NativePHP EDGE Tools

VS Code tooling for NativePHP Mobile v4 EDGE Blade components.

Features

Per-component API reference — hover each <native:...> component to see its own Props, Events, Bindings, Children, Notes, and inherited shared EDGE capabilities as separate sections.

EDGE component completion

Type:

<native:

and get completion for the bundled EDGE components and child components.

Attribute completion

Inside an EDGE tag, the extension suggests documented component attributes plus shared layout, styling, accessibility and gesture attributes.

<native:button
    label="Save"
    variant="primary"
    @press="save"
/>

Project-aware icon completion

The extension reads icon definitions from the NativePHP v4 project currently open in VS Code.

Run the NativePHP generator in your Laravel project when needed:

php artisan native-ui:generate-icons

By default the extension reads:

app/Icons/Ios.php
app/Icons/Android.php
app/Icons/AndroidOutlined.php

It also inspects the installed vendor/nativephp/mobile-ui / vendor/nativephp/mobile package for shared icon aliases. If you generate enums elsewhere, set nativephpEdge.icons.generatedPath.

Examples:

<native:icon name="home" />
<native:icon ios="gearshape" android="settings" />
<native:icon :ios="Ios::Gearshape" :android="Android::Settings" />
<native:icon :android="AndroidOutlined::Home" />

Use NativePHP EDGE: Refresh Project Icon Catalog after regenerating icons if you want to refresh immediately.

Syntax highlighting

NativePHP EDGE tags receive dedicated TextMate scopes, so <native:column>, <native:icon>, @press, bound :props, native:* attributes, and a11y-* attributes are visually distinguished using your active VS Code theme.

The extension intentionally does not hard-code colors, so highlighting works in both light and dark themes.

Hover documentation

Hover an EDGE component or supported attribute to see a short description, allowed values where known, and a link to the NativePHP v4 documentation.

Diagnostics

The extension reports:

unknown <native:...> component names as errors;
attributes not documented for the detected EDGE component as warnings.

Diagnostics are intentionally conservative around Blade bindings and directives such as :value, @press, native:model, wire:* and x-*.

Blade-safe formatter

Use Format Document or run:

NativePHP EDGE: Format Document

The formatter focuses on indentation of EDGE tags and common Blade control directives. It avoids rewriting PHP blocks, @verbatim blocks, <script> and <style> contents.

Installation

Install from the Visual Studio Marketplace once published, or install a local .vsix package from VS Code using Extensions: Install from VSIX....

Usage

Open a Laravel Blade file and type:

<native:

Use Ctrl+Space / Control+Space to manually trigger completion when needed.

For formatting, use VS Code's Format Document command or run NativePHP EDGE: Format Document from the Command Palette.

Per-component props and events

Hover a component such as:

<native:modal :visible="$showModal" @dismiss="closeModal">

The hover panel separates the component API into:

Props — props specific to that EDGE component.
Events — events emitted/handled by that component.
Bindings — e.g. native:model where supported.
Children — expected/natural child EDGE components.
Notes — component-specific behavior and constraints.
Shared EDGE capabilities — inherited layout/style props and shared gesture events.

Attribute completion uses the same classification, so @dismiss is shown as an event while visible is shown as a prop.

Configuration

{
    "nativephpEdge.format.indentSize": 4,
    "nativephpEdge.completion.tailwindLikeClasses": true,
    "nativephpEdge.icons.generatedPath": "app/Icons"
}

Recommended VS Code setup

This extension complements, rather than replaces:

PHP Intelephense
a Blade language extension
Tailwind CSS IntelliSense if you also want broad utility-class suggestions

Because multiple extensions can provide Blade language tooling, test your preferred Blade extension alongside NativePHP EDGE Tools and report any compatibility issues.
