ide-helper always generate id types of int even if string.

[letuss004]

Versions:

• ide-helper Version: 2.10.0
• Laravel Version: 8.7
• PHP Version: 8

Description:

My "users" table has string('id') as primary key but ide-helper always generate id types of int.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Change "user" table id from id to string
2. Use ide-helper:models

[mfn]

ide-helper reads the information directly from the database: are you sure in the environment you're running the helper that the database has the correct column type?

AFAIK there's no special handling for id or primary keys, they're discovered like any other column 🤷‍♀️

I also managed to reproduce this problem. Generally there is no problem, it's expected behavior for Laravel. The Model abstract class defined primary key type as int:

/**
 * The "type" of the primary key ID.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $keyType = 'int';

As it's written in Laravel documentation, if you use other type for id you should redefine $keyType property on your model, like this:

protected $keyType = 'string';

I think this issue can be closed.

I think this issue can be closed.
