How I can make variables autocomplete in the PhpStorm 9 for Blade templates?

Question

I want PHPdoc blocks were considered within the blade template.

PhpStorm 9, Laravel 5.1, blade template file:

<?php
/* @var App\Models\User $user */
?>
...
<?= $user->email ?> <- autocomplete for the word "email" is working
...
{{ $user->email }} <- autocomplete not working

I tried different variants:

{{
/**
* @var App\Models\User $user
**/
}}
{{ /* @var App\Models\User $user */ }}
...
{{ $user->email }} <- autocomplete not working...
...
In such variant autocomplete works, but only within that block:
{{
/* @var App\Models\User $user */
$user->email
}}
...
{{ $user->email }} <- here does not work again...

How to make the autocomplete worked in all blocks for blade templates?

Answer 1

ATM PhpStorm does not support PHPDoc comments in blade templates using blade syntax (especially for completing blade variables).

Please follow these tickets (star/vote/comment) to get notified on progress:

You can now do it like you wanted:

<?php
/* @var App\Models\User $user */
?>
...
{{ $user->email }} <- autocomplete working

see https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2017/02/code-completion-in-laravel-blade-templates/

Answer 3

As of right now this isn't entirely possible due to PHPStorm's lack of support for Blade templates.

More or less same answer, just wrapped in a blade directive:

 @php /** @var App\Models\User $user */ @endphp
 {{ $user->email }}
