Sorry, rusty at PHP and learning Craft.
My code looks like this:
$url = craft::$app->GeneralConfig->siteUrl();
What am I doing wrong? I want to build a URL for some links in a plugin.
Please use a proper IDE or take a look into the source code to get to know the functions of the class. As you can see in the class reference the function is called
Craft::$app->getConfig()
However - in order to create urls you should use the UrlHelper

1you have referenced a "good IDE" in another question of mine as well. See [link]craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/25288/8071. You seem to have strong opinions about IDE's. What specifically in your estimation is a good or proper IDE? Are there ways to set up IDE's to get Craft classes autocompleted? Are there plugins that help? Can you recommend a specific IDE or environment? I am open to what a "proper IDE" is, please tell me. I am currently using Netbeans. – Eric Snyder Apr 9 '18 at 1:48

I would not even start to create a plugin without autocomplete, because it saves you so much time. NetBeans should be capable, but I personally don't like it at all. Here is a good article about the topic nystudio107.com/blog/… Phpstorm completes your code automatically, warns you about deprecated functions, enables twig autosuggestion, explains all functions, properties and magic methods a class has and so on. So when you type
Craft::you'll see every possibility you have. No plugin needed, no real setup needed – Robin Schambach Apr 9 '18 at 5:29 -
1Wow...oh wow! Using PHPStorm is massively helpful. I just learned how to set up a vagrant box with PHPStorm with xdebug. Wow...mind blown. Was used to this kind of capability using Visual Studio for VB.net. I always hated how primitive using echos, print_r and their ilk in doing web development. Mind blown. Thanks for pushing me @Robin. I appreciate your help. – Eric Snyder Apr 30 '18 at 0:33
