It’s good to know that you can also generate your own shared indexes for your private projects. PhpStorm may download the index or rebuild it locally, depending on whether your CPU and RAM are faster than your internet connection. For example, popular versions of packages like PHPUnit, aws/aws-sdk-php, doctrine/orm, laravel/framework, symfony/*, and many others have downloadable indexes.

In v2023.1, when you open a PHP project, PhpStorm checks `composer.json` to see which of the dependencies specified have a prebuilt shared index. Why should everyone need to compute its index over and over again if we can just index it once and share it? This is what shared indexes are about. Unlike regular indexes, which are built locally in your PhpStorm, shared indexes are generated once and are later reused on another computer whenever they are needed.įor example, symfony/console is one of the most used PHP packages in the world. Īs part of our work to improve performance, we have added downloadable shared indexes for PHP dependencies. If you find the service useful, consider supporting its author with a donation here.
