Sequential variables assignement format in PhpStorm

Hi Akash,

AFAIK it is not possible. One of the reasons -- you cannot align nicely all possible variants. For example, that's how your code will look alligned with TAB = 4 spaces:

$objUser        = new User();
$arrUserSongs   = $objUser->Songs();

I think those extra spaces are pretty useless there.

Plus -- I'm using 4 spaces for 1 Tab, but how it will look on someone else's computer where 1 Tab = 8 spaces (or 2 spaces)?

In any case -- please check the Issue Tracker and feel free to submit new Feature Request ticket if no existing one found.

My advice would be to not try to format your code in that way. It looks pretty, but can be a pain in the ass in a team setting, where each team member may have different spacing options. It also makes the code more difficult to maintain, because a maintainer must put in the work to pretty format whatever changes they make, which leads to things like:

$hey          = "ho";
$firstEdit    = "looks good";
$iCameLateToTheParty = "I don't care for pretty declarations";
$butIDo      = "pretty is important";
$iHaveDifferentSpaceFormatting                    = "what is going on here?";



I see this all the time, and someone eventually has to put in the work to non-pretty-fy it.

$hey = "ho";
$firstEdit = "looks good";
$iCameLateToTheParty = "I don't care for pretty declarations";
$butIDo = "pretty is important";
$iHaveDifferentSpaceFormatting = "what is going on here?";
