Documentation Tip: Search Structurally @Provides

[jmfayard]

Hello, thanks for dagger, which is great.

A co-worker of mine who was unfamiliar with it was confused all the time from where those @Inject fields come from.

To make his life easier, here is a structural search pattern that people can use, it's quite useful

---

Action Search Structurally (or Edit > Find > Search Structurally)

Enter the following template

class $Class$ {
  @Provides( )
  $MethodType$ $MethodName$($ParameterType$ $ParameterName$);
}

In Edit variables, edit $MethodName$ like this

Also edit $ParameterName$

Now when you serach Search Structurally, you get

Save it as template named Dagger @Provides so you can use it next time from (Copy from existing template)

Hope that helps!

This is amazing!

We actually have an IntelliJ plugin which is supposed to provide this functionality as well: https://github.com/square/dagger-intellij-plugin. Sadly it's fallen a bit out of favor with regard to upkeep, but we have plans to revive it and restore it to its former glory.
