Intelephense cannot find a certain class in App/Helpers

Question

I have created a class in App\Helpers\IdTransformer theres just two functions there.

I have registered it in aliases array in my app.php in config\app

'aliases' => Facade::defaultAliases()->merge([
        // 'Example' => App\Facades\Example::class,
        'IdTransformer' => App\Helpers\IdTransformer::class,
    ])->toArray(),

then i do, php artisan config:clear and php artisan config:cache

i can successfully access the file, in my code, but the Intelephense cannot find it. and it is so annoying. what must i do?

Answer 1

If you want to use your favorite helper file in Laravel programs, you should put it in the composer.json file and provide autoload, please pay attention to the example below:

.
.
.
"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/",
        "Database\\Factories\\": "database/factories/",
        "Database\\Seeders\\": "database/seeders/"
    },
    "files": [
        "app/Helpers/IdTransformer.php"
    ]
},
.
.
.

Add the following presentation to the ./composer.json file and in the autoload section:

        "files": [
        "app/Helpers/IdTransformer.php"
    ]

At the end type the following command:

composer update

In any part of your Laravel application, you can use the functions in IdTransformer.php as follows:

NameFunction();

At the same time, hit the command

What i did to solve this is,

I just put this line in the composer.json

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        ...
        "App\\Helpers\\": "app/Helpers",
        ...
    }
},

then i run composer dump-autoload
