Autocomplete the Eloquent Builder methods in PHPStorm

Normally you can use where(),  find(),  get() and other static methods. But PHPStorm isn’t auto completing these methods although these methods exist. If you want to autocomplete these methods in PHPStorm I have an idea for this.

Create an abstract class which name is AbstractModel. Important thing is that you must add mixin directive to phpdoc section.

/**
 * Class AbstractModel
 * @package App\Models
 *
 * Autocomplete the Builder methods (for example where(), get(), find(), findOrFail() etc...)
 * @mixin \Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder
 */
abstract class AbstractModel extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
{}

After that you must extends this class in your models. For example:

class User extends AbstractModel implements AuthenticatableContract, AuthorizableContract
{
    use Authenticatable, Authorizable, HasFactory;
....

After that you can use all Builder static methods in your model:

Happy coding…
