| Synchronize IDE settings with composer.json |
Select this check box
to automatically detect the PHP language level and configure project Source and Test roots
based on the configuration from composer.json.IntelliJ IDEA is aware of PSR-0/PSR-4 source roots and of their namespace prefixes declared in the autoload and autoload-dev sections in composer.json.
IntelliJ IDEA also detects the PHP language level based on the php setting in the require section.Because composer.json contains the most up-to-date information about the project configuration,
this automatic synchronization ensures that the Source and Test folder exactly match the project structure
and the correct PHP language level is set automatically.
Learn more about PSR and autoload from the Composer official website .
