Web site API reference lacks extended class and implemented interfaces...

[endersaka]

Description

I feel strange because I can't believe I can't find it...

I pick up just an example. I was trying to understand what Cake\ORM\ResultSet actually is. Easy to guess by the scope and the name (and the methods). But, apart from that, commonly I am used to find reference to extended class and implemented interfaces in API reference documentations. For CakePHP I have to open the source code link.

Example: Cake\ORM\ResultSet.

CakePHP Version

5.2

If you search on the book, you find several resources, depending on the scope/topic, e.g.
https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/orm/query-builder.html#resultset-is-a-collection-object
Not sure what else would be needed.

Can you provided some examples?

I just picked randomly some:

1. PHP SPL official documentation https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.appenditerator.php
2. MDN JavaScript Web APIs documentation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest (presented its own way but yet, ... I immediately see were XMLHttpRequest come from)
3. Java Official API reference https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/chrono/MinguoDate.html I just picked up a random class and it list all the implemented interfaces and the ancestor class tree.
4. And Laravel, the Application class https://api.laravel.com/docs/12.x/Illuminate/Console/Application.html

And I could go on for days with similar examples.
