NAME
Devel::IntelliPerl - Auto-completion for Perl
VERSION
version 0.04
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::IntelliPerl;
my $source = <<'SOURCE';
package Foo;
use Moose;
has foobar => ( isa => 'Str', is => 'rw' );
has foo => ( isa => 'Foo', is => 'rw' );
sub bar {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
# $c isa Catalyst
$self->
}
1;
SOURCE
my $ip = Devel::IntelliPerl->new(source => $source, line_number => 10, column => 12);
my @methods = $ip->methods;
@methods contains "bar", "foo", and "foobar" amongst others. Method
completion for $c works as well. Using the comment "# $c isa Catalyst"
you can specify the variable $c as an object of the "Catalyst" class.
This comment can be located anywhere in the current file.
Even though the example uses Moose, this module works also with non
Moose classes.
See "SCREENCASTS" for usage examples.
ATTRIBUTES
line_number (Int $line_number)
Required
Line number of the cursor. Starts at 1.
column (Int $column)
Required
Position of the cursor. Starts at 1.
source (Str $source)
Required
Source code.
filename
Optional
Store the filename of the current file. If this value is set @INC is
extended by all "lib" directories found in any parent directory. This is
useful if you want to have access to modules which are not in @INC but
in your local "lib" folder. This method sets "inc".
This value is NOT used to retrive the source code! Use source instead.
inc (ArrayRef[Str] $inc)
Optional
All directories specified will be prepended to @INC.
METHODS
error (Str $error)
If an error occurs it is accessible via this method.
line (Str $line)
Sets or gets the current line.
keyword
This represents the current keyword.
Examples ("_" stands for the cursor position):
my $foo = MyClass->_ # keyword is MyClass
my $foo->_ # keyword is $foo
my $foo->bar->_ # keyword is $foo->bar
prefix
Part of a method which has been typed already.
Examples ("_" stands for the cursor position):
my $foo = MyClass->foo_ # keyword is MyClass, prefix is foo
my $foo->bar_ # keyword is $foo, prefix is bar
methods
Returns all methods which were found for "keyword" and "prefix".
trimmed_methods
Returns "methods" truncated from the beginning by the length of
"prefix".
INTERNAL METHODS
guess_class (Str $keyword)
Given a keyword (e.g. "$foo->bar->file") this method tries to find the
class from which to load the methods.
handle_class
Loads the selected class.
handle_self
Loads the current class.
handle_method
This method tries to resove the class of the returned value of a given
method. It supports Moose attributes as well as
MooseX::Method::Signatures.
Example for an instrospectable class:
package Signatures;
use Moose;
use Path::Class::File;
use MooseX::Method::Signatures;
use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
has dir => ( isa => 'Path::Class::Dir', is => 'rw' );
BEGIN { class_type 'PathClassFile', { class => 'Path::Class::File' }; }
method file returns (PathClassFile) {
return new Path::Class::File;
}
1;
Given this class, Devel::IntelliPerl provides the following features:
my $sig = new Signatures;
$sig->_ # will suggest "dir" and "file" amongst others
$sig->file->_ # will suggest all methods from Path::Class::File
handle_variable
Tries to find the variable's class using regexes. Supported syntaxes:
$variable = MyClass->new
$variable = MyClass->new(...)
$variable = new MyClass
# $variable isa MyClass
inject_statement (Str $statement)
Injects $statement at the current position.
update_inc
Trigger called by "filename".
