Nathan Rijksen has recently posted a neat Komodo macro that I’ve found very useful when editing PHP and JavaScript files:
https://community.www.activestate.com/forum/phpdoc-autocompletion
What Nathan’s macro does is when you have a function/class/variable already defined in your code and are wanting to add documentation comments (PHPDoc or JSDoc style) then you start typing “/**” and press ENTER. At this point Nathan’s trigger macro will kick in and try to auto-document the information using the next code line.
Here is an example:
<?php
/**[cursor]
function DocMe(arg1, arg2, foo=1) {
?>
the result after pressing [ENTER] is:
<?php
/**
* Summary[cursor]
* @param Type arg1 – Description
* @param Type arg2 – Description
* @param Type foo – Description
*/
function DocMe(arg1, arg2, foo) {
?>
The inserted text even makes use of tabstops so you can easily tab between the arguments, neat! Thanks for the great macro Nathan.
Cheers,
Todd
