Having issues getting php storm to know about the methods

[LorenzoWynberg]

For some reason only 4 of the methods on the blueprint are caught/known by php storm.
I am using laravel IDEA, and also tried with barryvh ide helper, but no luck yet.
I'm wondering if i did anything wrong, ended up having to write a stub
These are the ones that the IDE autocompletes/knows about, without the stub
magellanBox2D
magellanBox3D
magellanGeography
magellanGeometry

Your IDE doesn’t recognize all Blueprint methods because they're added with macros, which aren't visible to static analysis. Laravel IDEA and Barryvdh IDE Helper can’t detect them automatically. You did the right thing by writing a stub. Just include all custom methods in the stub, link it to Blueprint, and regenerate the helper files. This will fix autocomplete issues...

Just to interject, barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper does go through the macros, as seen in this screenshot of _ide_helper.php:

This is with no extra setup at all.

you need to create a custom stub file where all macro methods like magellanPoint2D, magellanBox2D, etc. are manually defined.

This stub file should be written inside the Blueprint class namespace and each method should be defined using either @method annotations or static functions.

Then, open the config/ide-helper.php file and add the path to your custom stub file under the extra option so that the helper includes it.

Clear caches
Next, run the commands php artisan ide-helper:clear, php artisan ide-helper:generate, and php artisan ide-helper:models -M in your terminal to regenerate the helper files.

I removed barry ide helper as it didnt help me, and just by writting the stub its pretty much solved, not sure if laravel IDEA is doing that or just php storm.

btw I did dissable laravel IDEA when testing the barry ide helper stuff a couple times to make sure they weren't conflicting and still nothing without the stub and just barry.

but yeah works fine with the stub and laravel IDEA
