Inlay hints
Inlay hints appear in the editor and provide you with additional information about your code to make it easier to read and navigate.
Enable or disable inlay hints
Open the Settings dialog (Control+Alt+S), go to , expand the groups of inlay hints, and clear the checkboxes next to the hints that you want to hide or show.
In the editor, right-click a hint and select whether you want to disable the specific type of hints or all hints in this category.
Code vision | Code vision hints display in the editor the number of inheritors and usages for a symbol, show who authored it, and mark symbols that are new or contain uncommitted changes. When you hover over a hint, it turns into a link. By clicking the link you can navigate to usages or implementations of the class or interface as well as open Version Control annotations.
In the right-hand pane of the dialog, configure the default position of inlay hints—whether they should be displayed above symbols or to the right of them—and specify the maximum number of inlay hints to be shown in each position. You can also configure custom positioning for hints of a specific type. |
Parameter names | Show the names of parameters in function and method calls. These hints provide assistance with passing correct arguments to functions and methods. The PHP-specific parameter name options are:
For a number of methods and functions, parameter names are not shown by default: such methods and functions are on the default Exclude List. To re-enable the excluded parameter name hints, or add more excluded methods or functions, click Exclude list and edit the list. |
Types | Show the types of variables, fields, parameters and function return types in the editor. Learn more from Return types in JavaScript, Type hints in JavaScript, Return type hints in TypeScript, Type hints in TypeScript. |
Values | By default, this checkbox is selected and PhpStorm shows inferred values for numeric enums in the TypeScript context. Clear the checkbox to hide the inferred values and show only the values of explicitly initialized constants. |
