[Feature]: Option to change _laravel_ide cache path (e.g. .vscode/_laravel_ide)

[indrisepos]

Feature Description

Currently the Laravel VS Code extension generates cache/discovery files in:

vendor/_laravel_ide/discover-xxxx.php

This has some drawbacks:

• Pollutes the vendor/ folder with non-composer files
• Can confuse developers and version control if not ignored
• vendor/ is usually managed by Composer and should not contain IDE-related files

Proposed solution

Please add a configuration option to define the location of these generated files.

For example, a setting like:

{
  "laravel.ideHelper.cachePath": ".vscode/_laravel_ide"
}

This would:

• Keep IDE cache files out of vendor/
• Match common convention (.vscode/ or similar hidden project folders)
• Avoid accidental commits

Workarounds today

• Add /vendor/_laravel_ide/ to .gitignore
• Hide the folder in files.exclude

But a configurable cache path would be a cleaner, long-term solution.

Thanks for considering!

/storage/framework might be a good place.
