IDE Helper Not Generating Macro Methods for Filament Macros

How can we help you?

I used the Laravel macro feature to add a check method to the Filament MountableAction class within AppServiceProvider. While the functionality works correctly and has been tested, I want IDE (PhpStorm) to provide proper autocompletion for this method. I attempted to generate the hints using ide-helper:generate, but it did not include the macro method.

After analyzing the ide-helper codebase, I discovered that its macro method generation is incompatible with Filament’s macro structure.

**Root Cause:**​

Laravel’s default macro structure follows the format: 'method_name' => Closure.
Filament’s macros use a nested structure: 'method_name' => [CLASS_NAME => Closure].
This mismatch causes ide-helper to encounter errors when retrieving macro methods, resulting in the method being skipped entirely during code generation.
