Well, as you have seen, there is a lot of magic going on, and the IDE wouldn't know about the defined macros. If you're working within a team, other developers won't know about these macros either, which is not good. Luckily, there are tools to help you with that. A free and open source option is the Laravel IDE helper package.

Why aren't certain methods showing on my model?
