Annotate a class member that doesn't exist (virtual property)

Question

Is there a way to have an annotation for a class member that isn't declared explicitly? Like

class Foo
{
    /** @var string $bar */
    // public $bar; // <--- without this line

    ...other stuff...
}

Background: I use __get to provide virtual properties for my class and want these properties to appear in the phpstorm/idea autocomplete box.

Answer 1

Use the @property* annotation on the class.

/**
 * @property string $bar
 */
class Foo {}

_{*or @property-read or @property-write as appropriate.}
