What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A Laravel package that generates helper files and PHPDoc annotations so IDEs can provide accurate autocompletion for facades, Eloquent models, and container instances. It scans project source files to keep generated docs up-to-date.

Use cases

  • fix missing autocompletion for Laravel facades in PhpStorm
  • generate PHPDoc blocks for Eloquent models from database schema
  • enable autocomplete for model attributes and query builder methods
  • generate PhpStorm .phpstorm.meta.php for container instance resolution
  • add autocompletion for factory builders and fluent methods

When to choose

  • you develop Laravel apps and want accurate IDE autocompletion
  • your IDE flags Eloquent model properties as undefined
  • you use PhpStorm and want container meta support

When to avoid

  • you don't use Laravel
  • you don't rely on IDE autocompletion or static analysis
  • you're on Laravel 9 or older without the 2.x branch
