Better Reflection

This package add 3 features:

• ignores missing functions without crashing
• SmartClassReflector knows about every file passed as source
• add stub file to /stubs directory

Stub Files

Sometimes we need reflection of class that is not here.

To overcome this hard dependency on /vendor, we can prepare a stub file in format:

/stubs/Namespace.ClassName.stub

When class Namespace\ClassName and is nowhere to be found, the stub file will be used to identify it.

Note - composer require --dev related to config version

Sometimes it's more useful to install package of certain version, rather than to depend on version locked stubs, e.g.:

composer require --dev nette/application:2.4

How to add Stub File?

• Copy original file from Github and use y to get absolute link to original file (in case of debug or anything).
• Also refer Rector config with version this stub was used for.
• Add these 2 informations to the top of stub file:

<?php

# source: https://github.com/nette/application/blob/12ce71ebb7389d2c24fa6f1a57a4348cad228c5e/src/Application/UI/ITemplate.php
# for: nette24.yml

namespace Nette\...
