phpstorm
A reference page for the phpstorm resource
The phpstorm resource installs JetBrains PhpStorm, a PHP IDE. On macOS it is installed via Homebrew Cask (brew install --cask phpstorm); on Linux via Snap (snap install phpstorm --classic).
Parameters
-
settingsZip (string, optional) — Absolute path to a PhpStorm settings ZIP file (exported via File | Manage IDE Settings | Export Settings) to import on first install. The archive is extracted directly into the PhpStorm config directory, so all exported settings (keymaps, code styles, inspections, etc.) are applied before PhpStorm is first launched.
-
importSettings (boolean, optional, default:
true) — Controls whether thesettingsZipis imported duringcreate. Set tofalseto skip the import even whensettingsZipis specified. This is a setting parameter and is not tracked as state, so it only has effect when the resource is first applied. -
plugins (string[], optional) — JetBrains Marketplace plugin IDs to install (e.g.
"com.github.copilot","Docker"). Plugin IDs can be found on the plugin's page in the Marketplace under Additional Information. Plugins are managed statefully: Codify adds missing plugins and removes plugins no longer in the list. -
jvmMaxHeapSize (string, optional) — Maximum JVM heap allocated to PhpStorm, e.g.
"2048m"for 2 GB or"4096m"for 4 GB. Written tophpstorm.vmoptionsin the IDE config directory as-Xmx<value>. -
jvmMinHeapSize (string, optional) — Initial JVM heap allocated to PhpStorm, e.g.
"512m". Written tophpstorm.vmoptionsas-Xms<value>. Typically set to half the max heap size.
Example usage
Install PhpStorm with plugins
[
{
"type": "phpstorm",
"plugins": [
"com.github.copilot",
"Docker"
]
}
]Install PhpStorm, import previous settings, and increase heap
[
{
"type": "phpstorm",
"settingsZip": "/path/to/phpstorm-settings.zip",
"importSettings": true,
"jvmMaxHeapSize": "4096m",
"jvmMinHeapSize": "1024m",
"plugins": [
"com.github.copilot",
"Docker"
]
}
]Notes
- On macOS a CLI launcher symlink is created at
/usr/local/bin/phpstormduring install so thatphpstormis available in terminal sessions. It is removed on destroy. - Plugin IDs must be exact JetBrains Marketplace IDs. You can find them on the plugin's Marketplace page under Additional Information → Plugin ID.
- The
settingsZipimport only runs duringcreate(first apply), not on subsequent applies. If you need to re-import, destroy and re-apply the resource. - JVM options are written to
phpstorm.vmoptionsin~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm<version>/on macOS and~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm<version>/on Linux. If PhpStorm has never been launched, Codify creates this directory and file automatically. - On Linux, Snap must be available. Codify will attempt to install
snapdvia the system package manager if it is not found.
