Favorite Sublime Text plugin for generating DocBlocks

Hi there,

What plugin do you folks use to generate DocBlocks within Sublime Text? Of course there is phpfmt but it doesn't support the Return Types feature which got introduced with PHP 7.0.

Thanks for sharing!

I use DocBlockr, but I don't think it supports return types either.. it just does @return [type]

Edit: I wrote the example function first and then ran DocBlockr, this is what it output..

/**
 * [sayMyName description]
 *
 * @param  string $name
 *
 * @return [type]
 */
function sayMyName(string $name)
{
    return (string) $name;
}

You can try DoxyDoxygen. This plugin support Php 7 and have a lot of advanced function (like FQN). Here the output for your example:

/**
 * { function_description }
 *
 * @param      string  $name   The name
 *
 * @return     string  ( description_of_the_return_value )
 */
function sayMyName(string $name)
{
    return $name;
}
