Laravel Live Templates for PhpStorm

How to:

1. Go to Preferences | Tools | Settings Repository

2. Add Read-only Source https://github.com/koomai/phpstorm-laravel-live-templates

3. Restart PhpStorm.

4. To see all templates, go to Preferences | Live Templates and expand the Template Group.

It's hard to remember shortcuts when there are a large number of options. A more efficient way is to take advantage of PhpStorm's Insert Live Template shortcut. Type as few or as many letters as you want and press Cmd + J. Then continue typing to filter the options.

For example, for the Schema Builder, type Sc or Sch or Schema and press Cmd + J.

Note: In the preview version of PhpStorm 8, live templates show up automatically as you type the first few letters. You should still press Cmd + J to filter out everything else (classes, variables, etc).
