What problem does it solve?

Detects when a library class is missing methods the project needs but is read-only, preventing direct extension and forcing duplicated helper code across clients. It keeps teams from hacking around limitations by copying behavior into every caller and highlights when a strategic extension is warranted.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Missing Method Detection: Spot repetitive client utilities that reveal the library needs additional helpers yet cannot be changed.
  • Foreign Method Guidance: Show how to add small helpers within client classes that accept the vendor object for lightweight fixes.
  • Local Extension Guidance: Recommend wrapping or subclassing the third-party class for more extensive functionality so the codebase talks to a richer API.
  • Use Case: When an external date class only exposes getters, decide between a foreign DateUtil helper and an ExtendedDate subclass so team code can call addDays, format, or isWeekend.

Quick Start

Determine whether to implement a foreign method or a local extension for the read-only library class lacking new behaviors.
