Currently supports PHP with plans for Python, JavaScript, and more. Vision ------ [](#vision) Fubber aims to be the Swiss Army knife for codebase exploration: - **Multi-language**: Currently PHP, with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and more planned - **Fast exploration**: Query your codebase without opening an IDE - **AI-friendly**: Perfect for LLM coding assistants to understand codebases - **Framework-agnostic**: Works with any PHP project Current Features (PHP) ---------------------- [](#current-features-php) - **Entity lookup**: Explore namespaces, classes, interfaces, traits, enums, methods, properties, constants, and functions - **Pattern search**: Find entities by name or signature using substring or regex patterns - **Relationship queries**: Find implementations, subclasses, trait users - **Type queries**: Find methods accepting or returning specific types - **Attribute queries**: Discover PHP 8 attribute usage across your codebase Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Via Composer (recommended) [](#via-composer-recommended) ``` composer global require fubber/fubber ``` Make sure your Composer global bin directory is in your PATH: ``` export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin" ``` ### From source [](#from-source) ``` git clone https://github.com/frodeborli/fubber.git ~/fubbertool cd ~/fubbertool composer install ln -s ~/fubbertool/bin/fubber ~/.local/bin/fubber ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Navigate to any PHP project directory and run `fubber`: ``` cd /path/to/your/project fubber --help ``` ### Basic Examples [](#basic-examples) **Explore a namespace:** ``` fubber App\\Models ``` **View class documentation:** ``` fubber "App\\Models\\User" ``` **View method details:** ``` fubber "App\\Models\\User::save" ``` **Search for entities:** ``` fubber search Router # Find anything with "Router" fubber search -i cache # Case-insensitive search fubber search '\$request' # Find methods with $request parameter ``` ### Relationship Queries [](#relationship-queries) **Find all implementations of an interface:** ``` fubber implements CacheInterface ``` **Find all subclasses:** ``` fubber extends Repository ``` **Find classes using a trait:** ``` fubber uses LoggableTrait ``` ### Type-based Queries [](#type-based-queries) **Find methods accepting a specific type:** ``` fubber accepts Request ``` **Find methods returning a specific type:** ``` fubber returns Response ``` ### Attribute Queries [](#attribute-queries) **Find all uses of a PHP 8 attribute:** ``` fubber attributes Route fubber attributes Column ``` How It Works ------------ [](#how-it-works) Fubber uses PHP's built-in Reflection API to analyze your codebase: 1. Discovers classes via Composer's autoloader metadata 2. Uses reflection to extract signatures, types, and documentation 3. Presents results in a clean, scannable format No external dependencies required - if you can run PHP, you can run Fubber. Future Plans ------------ [](#future-plans) - **Python support**: `fubber-python` using Python's inspect module - **JavaScript/TypeScript**: `fubber-js` using TypeScript compiler API - **Full-text search**: SQLite FTS5 indexing of docblocks - **Cross-language queries**: Find similar patterns across languages - **C binary**: Fast dispatcher to delegate to language-specific implementations Why Fubber? ----------- [](#why-fubber) **For developers:** - Faster than opening an IDE for quick lookups - Great for exploring unfamiliar codebases - Works over SSH where GUIs aren't available **For AI coding assistants:** - Efficient way to understand project structure - More accurate than grep/text search - Type-aware queries reduce hallucination Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions welcome! This is an early-stage project with lots of room for improvement.
