Faux Generics
=============

[](#faux-generics)

This package lets you generate Laravel-specific helper files to simulate generics in PHP. This provides better type hinting and refactoring for many of Laravel's fluent and proxy features:

- Models (return types and static methods)
- Query Builder (return types, pass-thru, and forward calls)
- Collections (return types)
- Higher Order Collection Proxies (type-hint on property and method chains)
- Model Scopes (type-hint on builder, relations, etc)
- Factories (type-hint on `factory()` calls)
- Paginator
- Macros
