Bulk replacement of class constants

[jortwiz]

Hi,

I have a Symfony 4 project which contains a few thousand references to ->getRepository('bundle:class').
All of these should be refactored to class constants.

The plugin automatically offers the replacement through the context menu, however I haven't found a way to apply these changes in bulk.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

• yes there is. press ALT+enter in context
• but other then form types class converting i never implemented full inspections which allowing them to run project wide; maybe quick win for next update

but also the good "old" rectorphp provide this also:

For single replacements I already have this keybound, being able to run this as a project-wide inspection would be a great addition. Thanks for taking this into consideration.

@jortwiz I know I'm quite late, but I wanted to point out that TwigQI should be able to find any invalid constant()s at compile time. I'd love to hear whether that works for you and helps prevent bugs.

@drjayvee Thanks for getting back to me. This would certainly help in our QI flow; but doesn't really solve my issue.
I'm looking to mass rewrite string-based references to classes into their respective constants. The plugin does offer this on an individual basis, but not in bulk.
