Custom directives

Just add the php file where you added the custom directive implementation as in https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/blade#extending-blade.

VIews folder

If you use blade templates outside of the generic laravel framework or have custom templates folders you can configure them for a project.

This will help the yielid and view path completion

Reformat and indentation

Experimental formatting and indenting

blade components

Limited completion and declaration finder

brace matcher

• Emoji character can break brace matching.

completion

• lag, when changing between projects, or on idle after indexing has finished

formatting

• some indentation are broken. This is not the plugin's "fault" but it's a netbeans core issue

ex: a basic html file

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Col</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td><a href="">{cursor}</a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

after enter from cursor position

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Col</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
                <td><a href="">
            
            </a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

php code validation

• embedded php code doesn't have syntax error warning

The plugin is implemented using ANTLR lexer and parser. I migrated from Jflex and jcup tools due to scalability reason. Antlr plugin was introduced with Netbeans 18.

Some features are not implemented in this plugin version :

• variable completion from controller
• components completion and declaration finder
• error diagnostics for inline php code
