IDE and Laravel w/ Helper

I thought it might be helpful to show some code in context. Here's a simplified example of what I am doing:

    /**
     * On POST, create a new account.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return Response
     * @see http://docs.com/account#post
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $validator = Validator::make($request->input('data'), [
            'subdomain' => 'required|unique:accounts|max:50',
            'name' => 'required'
        ]);

        if($validator->fails()) {
            return \Response::json(['errors' => $validator->errors()])->setStatusCode(422);
        }

        $account = new Account();
        $account->name = $request->input('data')['name'];
        $account->subdomain = $request->input('data')['subdomain'];
        $account->save();
        
        return \Response::json(['data' => array('id' => $account->id)])->setStatusCode(201);
    }

Ok, I figured this out. The IDE gets confused when you use Illuminate\Http\Response at the top of the file. Removing that line lets everything in the response() helper resolve.

Then to keep your PHP doc blocks sane, simply replace @return Response with the fully namespaced @return \Illuminate\Http\Response.

Hope that helps someone. :)

@webkenny That sounds like it's acting properly to me. If you are going to use the Response facade, you should add use Response, not use Illuminate\Http\Response.

@thomaskim Yep. You're absolutely right. I am new so getting confused between all of the same keywords for different things. I think my last comment sums it up. :)
