This package generates a file that your IDE understands, so it can provide accurate autocompletion. Generation is done based on the files in your project, so they are always up-to-date.
If you don't want to generate it, you can add a pre-generated file to the root folder of your Laravel project (but this isn't as up-to-date as self generated files).

### New: PhpStorm Meta for Container instances
It's possible to generate a PhpStorm meta file, to [add support for factory design pattern](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Advanced+Metadata). For Laravel, this means we can make PhpStorm understand what kind of object we are resolving from the IoC Container. For example, `events` will return an `Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher` object, so with the meta file you can call `app('events')` and it will autocomplete the Dispatcher methods.
php artisan ide-helper:meta
app('events')->fire();
\App::make('events')->fire();
/** @var \Illuminate\Foundation\Application $app */
$app->make('events')->fire();
// When the key is not found, it uses the argument as class name
app('App\SomeClass');
Pre-generated example: https://gist.github.com/barryvdh/bb6ffc5d11e0a75dba67
> Note: You might need to restart PhpStorm and make sure `.phpstorm.meta.php` is indexed.
> Note: When you receive a FatalException about a class that is not found, check your config (for example, remove S3 as cloud driver when you don't have S3 configured. Remove Redis ServiceProvider when you don't use it).
### Automatic phpDoc generation for Laravel Facades
### Install
Require this package with composer using the following command:
composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
```bash
composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
```
After updating composer, add the service provider to the `providers` array in `config/app.php`
Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class,
```php
Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class,
```
### Automatic phpDoc generation for Laravel Facades
You can now re-generate the docs yourself (for future updates)
php artisan ide-helper:generate
```bash
php artisan ide-helper:generate
```
Note: `bootstrap/compiled.php` has to be cleared first, so run `php artisan clear-compiled` before generating (and `php artisan optimize` after).
You can configure your composer.json to do this after each commit:
"scripts":{
"post-update-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"php artisan ide-helper:generate",
"php artisan optimize"
]
},
```js
"scripts":{
"post-update-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"php artisan ide-helper:generate",
"php artisan optimize"
]
},
```
You can also publish the config file to change implementations (ie. interface to specific class) or set defaults for `--helpers` or `--sublime`.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider" --tag=config
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider" --tag=config
```
The generator tries to identify the real class, but if it cannot be found, you can define it in the config file.

```
By default, models in `app/models` are scanned. The optional argument tells what models to use (also outside app/models).
php artisan ide-helper:models Post User
```bash
php artisan ide-helper:models Post User
```
You can also scan a different directory, using the `--dir` option (relative from the base path):
php artisan ide-helper:models --dir="path/to/models" --dir="app/src/Model"
```bash
php artisan ide-helper:models --dir="path/to/models" --dir="app/src/Model"
```
You can publish the config file (`php artisan vendor:publish`) and set the default directories.
Models can be ignored using the `--ignore (-I)` option
php artisan ide-helper:models --ignore="Post,User"
```bash
php artisan ide-helper:models --ignore="Post,User"
```
Note: With namespaces, wrap your model name in " signs: `php artisan ide-helper:models "API\User"`, or escape the slashes (`Api\\User`)
