Answer 1

I encountered the same problem and solved by adding the line. For my case.

    /** @var \App\Models\MyUserModel $user **/
    $user = Auth::user();

I think the annotation line tell PHP intelephense that $user variable is not Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User type but \App\Models\MyUserModel type. Please try it.

what's the problem? I'm trying to help you and you're giving me a minus 1? I assure you that this way you won't get far in programming – Canticle

tell me what the problem is and I will help you – Canticle

@landrymoutongo I think you got a minus because the OP has mentioned in question that the HasApiTokens trait is already added in the User model. So your answer gives an impression that you wrote this answer without reading the question carefully. – Sapele

Answer 3

• Step 1:

  composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
  

• Step 2: Add the package to the extra.laravel.dont-discover key in composer.json; e.g.,

  "extra": {   "laravel": {
     "dont-discover": [
       "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper"
     ]   } }
  

• Step 3: Add the following class to the providers array in config/app.php:

  Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class,
