This plugin provides database integration for Laravel query builder.
See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/connecting-to-a-database.html#connect-to-mysql-database for instructions.
You also need either Laravel Idea plugin (paid) or Laravel IDE helper added to your project and run
php artisan ide-helper:generate
php artisan ide-helper:meta
php artisan ide-helper:models
php artisan ide-helper:eloquent
which will generate some helper files so your IDE could see Eloquent methods.
Laravel Query plugin needs either of those to work otherwise, it cannot understand for which methods to trigger autocompletion.
V5

Manually:
