Undefined class Request in Laravel

Question

I am using the Laravel Request Facades, however my import is being flagged by my IDE (PhpStorm 8) as undefined.

use Request;

I'm new to the idea of Facades, but am not sure what I am missing.

That's because the instances you get from the Facades are resolved dynamically, use this package that generates a file that provides accurate class definitions that PHPStorm can understand:
