The Laravel plugin assists with Blade templates including the new Laravel 5.4 update which includes slots and components.
Laravel Insight is a very helpful PhpStorm IDE plugin that introduces a lot of features when you are working with Laravel Framework. 29 845 downloads. November 6th, 2020 PestPHP has a plugin that adds support for using Pest inside of PhpStorm (written by Oliver Nybroe). This plugin adds conveniences to working with Pest, such as running a Pest test from the PhpStorm UI (like PHPUnit) and supports auto-completion.

And you are done.
Laravel & PHPStorm – the best of the two worlds. Laravel is the most popular PHP web framework today. PHPStorm is the best PHP IDE that money can buy. What’s sad is that there is still no built in support for Laravel in PHPStorm. I created an issue on YouTrack (Jetbrain’s issue tracker) a long time ago which has received quite a good number of votes by today. I do hope Laravel support will come soon on the IDE. Meanwhile, there are workarounds to get things done smoothly.
Auto Completion
Thanks to the massive class aliasing (& use of Facade) in the framework core, PHPStorm can’t provide true autocompletion for Laravel by default. But there are excellent packages like Laravel IDE Helper which can generate phpdocs from the framework source. It generates a file which the IDE can parse and use the generated codes to provide autocompletion.
Installation and usage is simple. First modify your composer.json to include it in the require section:
2 4 6 8 | 'IlluminateWorkbenchWorkbenchServiceProvider', 'BarryvdhLaravelIdeHelperIdeHelperServiceProvider', ), |
Now you can do this in command line:
The command should generate a file named “_ide_helper.php” with the necessary codes. You might want to recreate the code cache from “File” > “Invalidate Caches / Restart”. When the IDE restarts, you should get code completion for most of the Laravel code.
Blade Syntax
This one could be a bit tricky. But if you have installed Textmate bundles into Jetbrains IDEs, it’s actually simpler.
(1) Download the textmate bundle here – https://github.com/outofcontrol/Blade.tmbundle. If you download the zip, uncompress it to somewhere on your harddisk.
(2) From PHPStorm’s Settings window, go to TextMate Bundles. Add the bundle and apply the changes.
(3) Go to “File Types” settings. Select “File types supported via textmate bundles”. Add “*.blade.php” to that list. Apply the changes. Now try and open a blade file. It should work.

(4) Additionally, if there’s horrible color scheme on blade files, go back to “Settings” > “TextMate Bundles”, assign the color schemes to Darcula. (In my case, I switched all to Dracula under the “TextMate Color Scheme” column. If you click an item under that column, you should get a pop up to select.)
Now the blade syntax should work fine with nice color scheme.
