I am testing PhpEd with Laravel and can't get the autocomplete working with the model classes.

Example
Migration "items" with database field
$table->string('ItemID', 12)->default("");

Model "item" standard without any modifications

After creating an instance of the model i can assign a value to the member ItemId,
but ItemId isn't shown by the autocomplete.

$Item = new item;
$Item->ItemID = '1234';

Is there a configuration setting for Laravel that enables these autocomplete functions?

There is a Laravel Package barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper that scans the migrations and inserts the necessary PhpDoc comments for the models.
