 * Generated version: https://gist.github.com/barryvdh/5227822
 
 Note: You do need CodeIntel for Sublime Text: https://github.com/SublimeCodeIntel/SublimeCodeIntel
 
+### 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();
+
+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).
