The JetBrains blog has posted about an update to their popular PHPStorm IDE tool. In this new post they talk about the next level of integration they've introduced for those developing Laravel-based applications.

Last summer, we introduced support for Blade, the template language used by Laravel. Support for artisan, the command line tool for Laravel developers, is baked into PhpStorm as well. Using the Laravel plugin and the Laravel IDE helper, we can further extend PhpStorm's support for Laravel applications.

They walk you through each of these two new updates, showing what kind of features they enable and some screenshots of the interface in use. For more information and to check out other features in this new plugin/helper setup, see this documentation page.
