Working with Frameworks

You can work with any PHP framework in phpDesigner 7.

Create a project and enter the path to your PHP framework in the project manager under Libraries and Frameworks. Now load the project and access all classes, functions, variables etc. defined in your framework on the fly!

From version 7 you can now also work with the following JavaScript frameworks (no need for any configuration, they are automatic loaded):

  • jQuery
  • Yahoo! UI Library (YUI)
  • ExtJS
  • Dojo
  • Prototype
  • MooTools

Adding a framework to a project

  1. In the project manager, select the tab frameworks/libraries
  2. Enter the path to your framework
  3. Click Ok

Accessing classes, functions, variables etc. defined in the framework

You can access the classes, functions, variables etc. defined in your framework the following ways:

  • Intelligent code suggestion (CTRL+SPACE)
  • Jump to declaration (CTRL+G)

There must be a project loaded/active in order to access your classes, functions etc. from your framework.
