Generate Getter and Setter#

Generating getters and/or setters for private and protected properties can be done using the following code action. This will add the function get and set for the selected property at the end of the current class.

The inserted code contains all the available type annotations. In case the current version of PHP is 7 or higher, also the return type is added. For PHP 7.4 and higher, the property's type hint is taken into account as well.

The code action supports adding getter only, setter only, or both. In case more properties are selected, the code action allows to generate getters/setters for all of them at once.

Doc Block Settings#

Generated Doc Block above __get/__set is configurable using "php.docblock.getterSetterSnippet" setting.

Disable doc block above getters and setters:

"php.docblock.getterSetterSnippet": false

Custom tags in doc block with placeholders:

"php.docblock.getterSetterSnippet": {
    "summary": false,
    "@author": "${name:John}"
}
