Exclude package from php artisan ide-helper:generate

[giandv]

I find genial this composer dependency, it helped me a lot in a migration from a Laravel 4 to a Laravel 8. I'm starting to use it also on a new project so I'd like to build my helper that exploit generated _ide_helper. And I was wondering if it possible to exclude from the php artisan ide-helper command: generate one or more Laravel packages, eg exclude Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail and Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request. Can you help me, please? :)

+1 to exclude certain paths. E.g. the package roquie/laravel-dusk-select2 fails in conjunction with this package. roquie/laravel-dusk-select2#14

I see no issue, anyone up with a PR, some tests and maybe would be cool to have a specific example how to quickly reproduce this in new installation

Example it is possible to delete from the php artisan ide-helper: generate Mail, from the \Illuminate\Support\ Facades\ Mail package because for example I send mail through API and not with smtp protocol.

Also to me there are some genaration errors as said by @tjhunkin, for example the getMultiple method of the Cache class in Laravel 8, tells me that I do not have \Psr\SimpleCache\iterable

or it does not find the NotFoundExceptionInterface of the get() method of the App class.
