How To Get PhpStorm To Recognize Laravel Facades?

When using Laravel Framework (5.6), PhpStorm does not recognize methods when accessed via facades like this:

$user = User::find($id);

So it's always complaining that: "Method 'find' not found in User"

I've got the Laravel Plugin & the Barry IDE Helper. What else do I need to do?

From the root of your project in terminal:

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

php artisan clear-compiled
php artisan ide-helper:generate
