how to search for built-in methods in laravel? - laravel

could you advise how to search for built-in methods in laravel? For example I want to find controller's method validate() provided by the Illuminate\Http\Request and see how it works

You need to use IDEs (for example, PhpStorm) that provide such features. Look for "Go to declaration/definition" commands for the IDE you are using.
If you don't use IDE that supports jumps like that you can use external tools (I personally use Exuberant Ctags) to index your project's folder and generate tags file for all the classes, methods etc. But this approach will require additional setup from your part.
You can use debugger to trace your code in real time. But it requires for PHP debugger (like xdebug) to be set up and an IDE that supports debugging.
Lastly you can search for classes or methods you are interested in yourself. Laravel utilizes PSR-4 for autoloading, so the namespace of any class can easily lead you to the correct file inside /vendor/laravel/framework/src.

Visual Studio. Get all called function

Is there a way to get all function used in code.
Actualy I have a big dll which provides me an api of third-party system and now I need list of functions from this dll I'm using.
Is it possible? What way is better: macro or vs extension?
I guess, the API has a separate namespace. Unless you use explicit calls like: Third.party.namespace.ClassName.Method() you can remove using clauses and then filter somehow the errors the compiler shows you while rebuilding.
Or you can start by removing the references to the 3rd party assemblies, which will generate errors for all usings. Then you remove the using and then see every bit of code that relies on them. As I said unless there are explicit calls (which means there were some ambiguities) this should work.

AutoCAD Plugin - Developer Symbols Registration

I've developed a plug-in using the ObjectARX SDK, C# and the Autodesk plug-in templates for VS2010. The plug-in is loaded into AutoCAD at start-up via a registry entry as documented in the SDK files.
The plug-in itself is to be distributed privately and will not be submitted to the 'Marketplace' supplied by Autodesk for AutoCAD products.
I've noticed that there is a section on the AutoDesk website with regards to registering a custom prefix via the RDS scheme.
Code that differs from the default template is found within the following areas:
Namespaces e.g. "MyNamespace.Utility"
Custom Classes MyClass.cs
Custom Functions e.g. LogData()
Custom Commands e.g. "DEBUGDATA"
Based on the current implementation and intended usage/distribution method is symbol registration required? I ask as I am not sure what would happen if another plug-in used by the user has a "DEBUGDATA" command for example.
If symbol registration is required where can I find a clear example of it's implementation within code?
Many thanks
The way I try to avoid command name duplication is to use a really long command name, including my top namespace ("CadBloke" in my case) and then add a command alias to the acad.pgp file so the keyboard command is more sensible. Buttons on a toolbar etc don't care how long a command name is.
In your code, namespace clashes can certainly be an issue. I tend to make my top-level namespace pretty wordy, something like "CadBloke.CadTools.ToolName". You'd have to be pretty unlucky, or have annoyed someone, to get a clash with that sort of thing.
I saw your question on the Autodesk forum - that answer is basically the same as mine: try to make your namespace unique.
Hazy memory: I think some of the project wizards from Autodesk add your symbol to the namespace.
Here's a blog post with a link or 2 on symbol registration: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/05/registered-developer-symbols.html (your link is dead, pretty typical of Autodesk as they move links around a lot). Follow that up and try & find some info on symbols. Good luck with that, I never found anything concrete. Me, I don't use it presently.

What is the Difference Between Hammock and Hammock.ClientProfile?

I am attempting to use Hammock as a library to enable easy access to a REST API.
When I add the package using nuget in Visual Studio 2010, it adds 2 references:
Hammock
Hammock.ClientProfile
However, when I attempt to use the hammock classes and methods, it tells me there are duplicate implementations of certain classes. Further, using full namespace scoping does not seem to help.
Is it possible that one should be using only Hammock -or- Hammock.ClientProfile - but never both at the same time?
If so, why?
I have contacted the the creator, and he stated that there is no difference between the libraries - he was at one time planning to implement a server-side library, but never followed through on it.
My personally, I am using Hammock (and not using Hammock.ClientProfile).

How to Search Multiple Projects to Find Where a Specific Class's Method is being Invoked

We currently have multiple .NET projects that we have developed using Visual Studio. Each project has a reference to a shared dll that contains some helper classes.
Let's say I have an instance class named 'Helper1' with a public method named 'Save()'. Does anyone know of a way for me to search a group of projects to determine which projects/line the Save() method belonging to the Helper1 class is being invoked?
Basically, I want a list of where the Helper1 class' Save() method is being used among multiple projects.
This is not as simple as doing a text search. There could be many other classes in these projects that also have a Save() method which is being invoked, but I don't care about them. I only want to know about the Save() method belonging to the Helper1 class.
This means, the tool performing the search needs to be smart enough to understand the current namespace it is searching in. When a Save() method is found, the search tool needs to determine if the Save() method belongs to the Helper1 class or to some other class.
Note: There is no dynamic dependency injection happening in these projects, so we know at compile time which classes are being used.
Load all the dlls into "reflector" (the free version is fine)
navigate to the method you are interested in
bring up the analyser (ctrl+r I believe)
job done
Red Gate's .NET Reflector can do this, even in the free version.
The "Analyze" feature will tell you where specific types are used, exposed, and instantiated:
If you find yourself needing something a little bit more high powered, you might look into Tom Carter's Dependency Structure Matrix Plugin. This works with Reflector to give you a more powerful way of tracking inter-module dependencies. You can read an article about it here.

Make emacs autocomplete Ruby methods

Is there a way to make emacs pull autocompletions of ruby methods the way Eclipse and NetBeans do? That is if I type File. and press CTRL-space in Eclipse I will get a list of File methods. Same with variables. I have installed autocomplete plugin, ruby-mode, rinari and cedet, but so far it will complete local variable and method names, but will not native ones.
I think you need something like RSense. You might also like the more general auto complete mode.
I'm not familiar with ruby, but if by "native methods" you mean stuff in some system library, there are a couple options for extending CEDET to do the work.
If there are ruby files somewhere that have all that code in them, and if ruby supports some sort of "include" or "import" statement, then you need to add that location to the include path for ruby. This probably requires a change the the ruby source code to add a new system include path. You can see examples in semantic-c.el. You may also need to override the function semantic-tag-include-filename to convert the include into a findable filename.
If there are no includes, and there is just some ruby interpreter that knows all this stuff, then you will instead need to code up a full ruby "omniscient" database, similar to semanticdb-el.el. It will need a way to query ruby for various things and return them as answers.
Any such enhancements would be welcome back in the ruby support in CEDET's contrib area.
Ruby is an interpreted language, making it difficult to do certain things, such as autocompletion. How would you know what the object type is, if it's not defined? Therefore, premade solutions are limited or nonexistent. Even the autocompletion in Netbean/Eclipse will only work on class methods (if I'm not mistaken).
