Is @mixin \Eloquent necessary for model classes?

[rwdevguy]

Versions:

• ide-helper Version: 2.12
• PHP Version: 8.0.14

Question:

Is there any benefit in adding @mixin \Eloquent to model classes? I only ask because Eloquent is just a facade for \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::class which the model will already be extending.

Also, this seems to require the ide-helper:generate command to have run for the facade to be resolved.

If there isn't any benefit to it being included, I'd be more that happy to create a PR :)

It is needed to autocomplete \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder class methods such as where or find

Example- User::where('id', 1) or User::find(1)
