Add Missing Units to uses (whole unit)
The whole-unit form of the undeclared-identifier quick-fix: resolves every unresolved name in a unit at once and adds the units that declare them.
Read this after a large paste or a big refactor leaves several names unresolved in a unit. It resolves every unresolved name at once and adds the units that declare them to uses, instead of fixing one identifier at a time.
How to run it

Details
The whole-unit form of the undeclared-identifier quick-fix: resolves every unresolved name in a unit at once and adds the units that declare them. Reach for it after a large paste or a big refactor leaves several names unresolved.
Running it from the CLI
drag-lint check-unit <unit.pas> [--project <dproj>] [--platform win32|win64] [--shadow <dir>] [--resolve-uses] [--db PATH] [--format json|text]--resolve-uses is what drives the add-missing-units behaviour; --project
and --platform scope the check; --shadow <dir> and --format are also available.
Reaching it in the IDE
drag-lint > Uses & Dependencies > Add Missing Units to uses (whole unit)...
What it needs
Optional. An index is not marked required, but resolving names to their declaring units depends on what has been indexed.
Example
Illustrative only:
drag-lint check-unit C:\Projects\MyApp\CustomerOrder.pas --project C:\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.dproj --resolve-uses --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqliteThis would resolve every unresolved name in CustomerOrder.pas and add the
units that declare them.
