## Laravel IDE Helper Generator
[![Latest Stable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper/version.png)](https://packagist.org/packages/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper) [![Total Downloads](https://poser.pugx.org/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper/d/total.png)](https://packagist.org/packages/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper)
### Complete phpDocs, directly from the source
This packages generates a file that your IDE can understand, so it can provide accurate autocompletion. Generation is done, based on the files in your project, so they are alway 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)
* Generated version: https://gist.github.com/barryvdh/5227822
Note: You do need CodeIntel for Sublime Text: https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel
### Automatic phpDoc generation for Laravel Facades
Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update (or run `composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper:1.*` directly):
"barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*"
After updating composer, 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 artisan
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 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 config:publish barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
The generator tries to identify the real class, but if it cannot be found, you can define it in the config file.
Some classes need a working database connection. If you do not have a working default connection, some facades will not be included.
You can use a in-memory sqlite driver, using the -M option.
You can choose to include helper files. This is not enabled by default, but you can override this with the --helpers (-H) option.
The Illuminate/Support/helpers.php is already set-up, but you can add/remove your own files in the config file.
### Automatic phpDocs for Models
If you don't want to write your properties yourself, you can use the command `ide-helper:models` to generate
phpDocs, based on table columns, relations and getters/setters. Still in beta, so please provide feedback if you want.
Docs are written to a phpfile (_ide_helper_models.php) in the root of the project, so you can move the docs to the real model.
You can now also write the comments directly to your Model file, using the `--write (-W)` option. Please make sure to backup your models, before writing the info.
It should keep the existing comments and only append new properties/methods. The existing phpdoc is replaced, or added if not found.
With the `--reset (-R)` option, the existing phpdocs are ignored, only the newly found columns/relations are saved as phpdocs.
php artisan ide-helper:models Post
/**
* An Eloquent Model: 'Post'
*
* @property integer $id
* @property integer $author_id
* @property string $title
* @property string $text
* @property \Carbon\Carbon $created_at
* @property \Carbon\Carbon $updated_at
* @property-read \User $author
* @property-read \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection|\Comment[] $comments
*/
For now, only 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
Note: With namespaces, uses `\\` instead of `\`: `php artisan ide-helper:models API\\User`
