INFO

PhpStorm Refactoring, Find Usages and Go to Declaration features also work with controller class and method names.

WARNING

Refactoring for route names is unavailable for now.

Route hints ​

Controller methods show the routes that point to them, with HTTP methods, URL, and route name. Click a hint to go to the route declaration, open the URL in a browser, create an .http request, or copy the URL. Cmd/Ctrl-click a hint to go straight to the route declaration. In route files, the full URL is shown at the end of each Route::get() and similar call, with the same actions.

The hints can be turned off in Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Laravel Idea | Routing.

Route files recognition ​

Laravel Idea analyzes RouteServiceProvider for Laravel (bootstrap/app.php file for Lumen) and tries to find all needed information about route files there:

  • route files
  • root namespaces
  • route name prefixes
  • etc.

For some complex cases when route files are included in a non-standard way, for example from the then: callback of withRouting() in bootstrap/app.php, add helper phpDoc comments to the included route file to get the same completions:
