Laravel IDE Helper & Generator

Complete phpDocs, directly from the source

Add the _IDE_helper.php to your laravel folder (not in a public folder). The file isn't used by Laravel, but it has to be indexed by your IDE. The file has been tested in PHPStorm 6.

Automatic phpDoc generation for Laravel Facades

Require this package in your composer.json:

"barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "dev-master"

And add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider',

You can now re-generate the docs yourself (for future updates) in arisan

php artisan ide-helper:generate

You can also publish the config-file to add extra facades (ie. for bundles).

php artisan config:publish barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

You can just add the Facade and the 'real' class, like the rest of the classes.

'Eloquent'  => 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model',
