php - PHPStorm Code Hinting for array of object arrays

Question

In PHPStorm, the Code Hinting for an object array is simple and awesome;

class FooList {
    public function __construct(){
        $this->_fooList[] = new Foo(1);
        $this->_fooList[] = new Foo(2);
        $this->_fooList[] = new Foo(3);
        $this->_fooList[] = new Foo(4);
    }

    /**
     * @return Foo[]
     */
    getFoos() {
        return $this->_fooList;
    }
}

So if I do...

$fooList = new FooList();

foreach($fooList as $foo)
{
    // Nice hinting.
    $foo->FooMethod...
}

PHPStorm understands that $fooList is an array of Foos, and therefore knows that $foo's type is Foo.

The problem is that I want an array of FooList.

$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();
$listOfLists[] = new FooList();

foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
    foreach($fooList as $foo)
    {
        // No code hinting for $foo :(
    }
}

I know that you can code hint manually inside the foreach, like...

foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
    foreach($fooList as $foo)
    {
        /** $var $foo Foo */
        // Code hinting, yay!!
    }
}

Or ...

foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
    /** $var $fooList Foo[] */
    foreach($fooList as $foo)
    {
        // Code hinting, yay!!
    }
}

But I think that is ugly, as $listOfLists is build of Foo arrays, it should know what I am talking about without reminding it every time I implement a listOfLists.

Is there a way to implement this?

根据@LazyOne 评论中链接的错误报告，从PhpStorm EAP 138.256（因此在 PHPStorm 8 中）现在支持统一的多级数组文档解析。

这意味着您现在可以这样做：

/**
 * @var $listOfLists Foo[][]
 */
$listOfLists[] = (new FooList())->getFoos();
$listOfLists[] = (new FooList())->getFoos();
$listOfLists[] = (new FooList())->getFoos();
$listOfLists[] = (new FooList())->getFoos();

foreach ($listOfLists as $fooList)
{
    foreach($fooList as $foo)
    {
        // Code hinting, yay!!
        $foo->fooMethod();
    }
}
