I have a big multi-dimensions array like this (the ouput of a PhpUnit provider) :
return [
'my first test case' => [
$variable1,
$variable2,
$variable3,
$variable4
],
'my second test case' => [
$variable5,
$variable6
$variable7
$variable8
],
// And this goes on for a long time...
];
The inner dimension of this array has been chopped down by PhpStorm code formatting, because the lines exceeded the characters count I set as a maximum.
Since I did that formatting, I've refactored my test a little and reduced the number of variables in each test case. Now I could collapse it again and still be OK with my code style rules
return [
'my first test case' => [$variable1, $variable2, $variable3, $variable4],
'my second test case' => [$variable5, $variable6, $variable7, $variable8],
];
Is there a way I could automate this tedious process ? I tried using code formatting again but it won't "unchop" when that's not required anymore. I took a look at intentions to see if there was something to chop down, wrap or collapse a specific array without doing the whole formatting, but no luck.
Note : my PhpStorm is up to date (2023.1.4 at the time of writing)
I also tried using an external formatter (phpcbf) with the same style rules, but it leaves the array chopped down as well.
Option one:
Disable Settings | Editor | Code Style | PHP | Wrapping and Braces | Keep when reformatting | Line breaks.
Option two, a more granular one:
Place the caret into the beginning of what you want to merge into one line and hold Join Lines (Ctrl+Shift+J
by default).
