Laravel correct view import
I am learning Laravel and I am a bit confused. PHPStorm offers me several view import options:
View
Illuminate\View\View
Illuminate\Contracts\View\View
which one should I choose?
I have tried using
use Illuminate\View\View;
also, several controllers are using
use Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
They all seem to work in the same manner, which one is the correct way to import view class? I don't want to use View Facade. Thanks in advance for any help

As far as I understand I cant use compact('variable1', 'variable2') when using Facades

compact will still work, it's a straight php function. I use the view facade and still use compact to send data to the view.
Unless your use case is very different.

I get this when trying to use compact with View Facade:
Return value is expected to be '\Illuminate\Support\Facades\View', '\Illuminate\Contracts\View\View' returned so I assume use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View is the correct import, am I right?

view() is a global helper you do not need to use anything to make it work
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/views
compact() is part of php itself
