Plugins

HtmlTemplatePlugin

An "html template" file is a PHP file that produces a fragment of HTML, loaded by a method or function call somewhere else in the codebase something like this:

function load_template( $name ) {
	$some_var = $this->get_some_var();
	require __DIR__ . "/templates/$name.php";
}

Phan will normally evaluate the template as being in the global scope, meaning it doesn't know about $this or $some_var and will complain about attempts to access them.

Enter this plugin. First, in a comment at the top of the file (i.e. before any actual code, even namespace), add @html-template <FQSEN> (where <FQSEN> is like Namespace\Classname::method_name or Namespace\function_name). This tells Phan that the file should be interpreted inside the context of the named function or method, including access to $this if appropriate.

Second, in either the template's file comments or the doc comment for the referenced method/function, include @html-template-var T $var, just like @param or @var, to declare any additional variables that the method/function provides to the templates it loads.
