Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require claudiodekker/laravel-macro-describer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply run `php artisan macro:generate-helpers`, or append it to your `composer.json`'s `post-autoload-dump` section like this:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-autoload-dump": [
        "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump",
        "@php artisan package:discover --ansi",
        "@php artisan macro:generate-helpers"
    ],
```

When ran, the script does the following:

- Find all classes that use the `Macroable` trait.
- Fetch all registered macros/mixins using Reflection.
- Parse all method details using reflection (name, parameters & types, return type etc.)
- Generate an [PHPDocumentor-compatible `_ide_helpers.php` file](https://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/PHP/phpDocumentor/tutorial_tags.method.pkg.html)

This is, without a doubt, the most disgusting, hacky piece of code that I knowingly published on Github.

Testing
-------

```
composer test
```
