Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

調べてみると、Laravelのバージョンが古いから最新のideヘルパーはインストールできないようだ。今回はLTSであるLaravel6系をインストールしており、最新ideヘルパーはLaravel8系しか対応していないためエラーになったようだ。

やり方

ということでヘルパー側であるbarryvdh/laravel-ide-helperをバージョン指定してインストール

$ composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper:2.8.*

※上記は6系に対応している2.8をインストールするためのコマンドです。

以上。
