Details
Shows the public surface of a class: its members and signatures, without the method bodies. Reach for it to see what a class exposes without reading the whole unit.
Reaching it in the IDE
drag-lint > Inspect Symbol > Class Surface...
No keyboard shortcut is documented for this menu item.
Running it from the CLI
drag-lint surface --qname <Foo.TBar> [--db <file.sqlite>] [--include-impl] [--all-visibility] [--format text|json]--qname is the fully qualified class; --include-impl adds
implementation-only members; --all-visibility includes non-public
members; --format selects text or JSON.
What it needs
The --db flag is optional -- drag-lint auto-resolves the index when
omitted. An index must still exist.
Example
Illustrative only:
drag-lint surface --qname CustomerOrder.TCustomerOrder --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqliteThis would print the public surface of TCustomerOrder.
