Namespace rename

[DarkGhostHunter]

Description

Allow the namespace of the class to be renamed or moved through renaming, updating class under the namespace and class references

Use case

Want to change \App\Models\Traits to \App\Models\Concerns? Or move all namespace members to \App\Database\Helpers? Good luck:

• Create the folder
• Mover everything manually
• Search and replace
• ??
• Profit.

Proposed solution

Allow the namespace to have renaming. Rename the folder where it is if PSR-4 rules apply. Classes under the namespace should have updated references (new namespace), fail if there is a class/trait/interface/file collision.

When moving namespaces (App\Foo\Bar → App\Bar\Quz`), same rules should apply.

Alternatives considered

Shotgun the keyboard.

Did you at least try to raise an issue with Zed?

Just to be clear (for future readers), this is a duplicate of #345 and phpantom already supports:

1. changing the FQCN during a class rename will also move the class and update all references
2. rename events on the namespace declaration will move all the classes in that namespace and update all references

I just tried it in Zed it works fine:

@DarkGhostHunter in #345 (comment) you showed a laravel-lsp error, maybe this extension is conflicting?

The feature you are asking for is fully supported by the LSP, it not working is an issue with how your system is configured and without any real information about how it's configured we can't really help you here.

I'm converting this to a discussion since there is no issue to be solved with the LSP.
