How to make phpStorm determine the type of a variable in files of a certain type?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon!
I need phpStorm to correctly determine the type of the $this variable in all *.phtml type files. There are already a lot of files, so adding PHPDoc to each is not an option. How can the problem be solved globally?

Answer 1

In the yii view, I add a small header section:

<?php
/**
 * @var int $something_count Количество чего-то
 * @var Model $model модель чего-то
 * @var Controller $controller контроллер
 */
$controller = $this;
?>

It is not possible to automate this.

Answer 2

Head-on solution: phpStorm can create docks automatically for the files it creates.

Answer 3

A follow-up question. How to write phpDoc for $this correctly so that PS doesn't swear at private methods? That is, when the file is included from the class and in the file write:
<?php
/**
*@var myClass $this
*/
$this->_privateMethod(); // PS Ругается красным.
?>
