zend framework2 - Netbeans + ZF2 - Type hinting in view files -

the task simple, want add type hinting in netbeans can code assist in view files. how right way? example below not work:

/**  * @var \zend\paginator\paginator $this->paginator  */ $pageoffset = ($this->paginator->getcurrentpagenumber() - 1) * $this->paginator->getitemcountperpage(); 

this done in phtml file not php class file.

many ides fail provide type hinting view properties in view files.

one workaround assign property of view class new variable @ top of view file.

/**  * @var \zend\paginator\paginator $paginator  */ $paginator = $this->paginator;
