Phalcon 5 Stubs
Phalcon 5 Stubs adds bundled Phalcon Framework IDE stubs to Visual Studio Code, helping PHP language tools provide better autocompletion, symbol lookup, type hints, and static analysis for Phalcon projects.
This extension is designed for developers working with Phalcon 5.x and Intelephense.
Highlights
- Bundles official Phalcon IDE stubs
v5.16.0.
- Improves IntelliSense for Phalcon classes, interfaces, constants, and methods.
- Automatically registers the bundled stubs with Intelephense.
- Works without adding Phalcon stubs directly to every project repository.
- Includes commands for manual configuration and troubleshooting.
Requirements
For the best experience, install a PHP language server extension such as PHP Intelephense.
This extension configures:
"intelephense.environment.includePaths"
so Intelephense can index the bundled Phalcon stubs.
Getting Started
- Install this extension.
- Open a PHP project that uses Phalcon.
- Open any PHP file.
- Wait for Intelephense to index the workspace.
- Start using autocompletion and symbol navigation for Phalcon APIs.
No manual project setup is required in most cases.
