NAME

       PPIx::EditorTools::FindVariableDeclaration - inds where a variable was declared using PPI

SYNOPSIS

	 # finds declaration of variable at cursor
	 my $declaration = PPIx::EditorTools::FindVariableDeclaration->new->find(
	   code =>
	     "package TestPackage;
use strict;
BEGIN {
	       $^W = 1;
       }
my $x=1;
$x++;"
	   line => 5,
	   column => 2,
	 );
	 my $location = $declaration->element->location;

DESCRIPTION

       Finds the location of a variable declaration.

METHODS

       new()
	   Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments.

       find( ppi => PPI::Document $ppi, line => $line, column => $column ) =item find( code => Str $code, line => $line, column => $column )
	   Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to
	   process.  Searches for the variable declaration and returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the declaration
	   ("PPI::Statement::Variable") available via the "element" accessor.

	   Croaks with a "no token" exception if no token is found at the location.  Croaks with a "no declaration" exception if unable to find
	   the declaration.
