Trying to go to a file inside code by clicking in Laravel VS Code

Question

I am using VS Code 1.33.1

I am trying to go to a file in my code by doing a CTRL + Click but it doesn't seem to work.

As you may see, I would like to visit the AuthenticatesUsers file somewhere in my project. What is the click shortcut to do this?

Answer 1

To do that you need to install the PHP Intelephense. after installing let PHP Intelephense to scan the project and Ctrl + click on your class which will allow you go to the definition. if Ctrl + click didn't work try Alt + click

When you say go to definition, do you mean open the file itself or just plain description ? – Flexed

Ctrl + click will open the file. You could also press Alt + F12 to peek the definition if you don't need to open it. – Outing
