Check the Laracasts walkthrough

4) Make sure you're in your root directory (this is mine)
cd /var/www/html/project
5) Download the gist:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/barryvdh/5227822/raw/4d4b0ca26055fa4753b38edeb94fad2396c497c0/_ide_helper.php
6) Add "_ide_helper.php" to the .gitignore
file
sudo nano .gitignore
Add "_ide_helper.php" on a new line at the bottom
7) Download the .gitignore
and _ide_helper.php
files into PhpStorm
This is what my PhpStorm project directory looks like afterwards:
8) After the files are downloaded into PhpStorm, the "Undefined class" error will disappear and autocompletion will now work. Might need to restart it.
There is greate IDE support for Laravel shipped from Baryvdh:
https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
after you install it you just call in the console:
php artisan ide-helper:generate
which generate alll facede shortcuts in _ide_helper.php
file (which you have to exclude from git)
There is also something special for PhpStorm:
php artisan ide-helper:meta
which will give Laravel container context for example:
$foo = app(Foo::class);
PhpStorm will know that the $foo
variable is type of Foo
class.
I know this is an old thread, but it is still relevant. For me, I decided to add the following to my routes/web.php
since I don't want to have to worry about regenerating meta data for the app.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
Edit: The above does not add any overhead to PHP as the use
simply acts as a reference for PHP.
