Hi there, im start working with laravel, i use vscode with intelephense and other cool extensions.
Recently i saw this composer package "Laravel IDE Helper Generator" - https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper.
Do you think i need install this package or with intellisense is the only needed?
Will it do anything to install it? I don't want to install unnecessary dependencies.
Can you tell me about your experience?
@arthurolg No doubt, for Laravel project, Laravel IDE Generator is one of the most popular packages. If you need the explicit representation of laravel project on your IDE, then you can use this.
I found an interesting tutorial on how to optimize that. You can check it out: https://arunas.dev/laravel-intellisense/
