Enabling PHPStorm Support

PHPStorm 8 supports most D8 features including Twig templates, container links, namespaces etc. To enable full support:

1. Log into the admin section at localhost:8888/user.
2. Make sure that the following plugins are enabled:
   • Drupal support
   • Symfony2
   • Drupal Symfony2 Bridge
   • Behat Support
   • Most of the plugins can be downloaded or enabled through the Plugins tab in the PHPStorm preferences.
3. Enable Drupal support in Preferences under 'Languages & Frameworks' -> 'Drupal' and set the installation path to the drupal directory of this project, and set the version to 8.
4. Enable Symfony2 plugin in Preferences at 'Other Settings' -> 'Symfony2 Plugin'. Ignore the settings for app/web directories and you'll need to restart PHPStorm after enabling this setting and saving the preferences.
