All Known Implementing Classes:

CompoundTypeAssigner, TypeAssigner
```
public interface ITypeAssigner
```
Allows to bulk-assign types for identifiable elements, e.g. assign the types for the parametes of an inferred operation.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`assignType(org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmIdentifiableElement element, LightweightTypeReference actualType)`	The given element is tagged with the given type.
`ITypeComputationState`	`getForkedState()`	Returns the forked state that knows about the newly assigned types.
`ITypeReferenceOwner`	`getReferenceOwner()`	Returns the current owner.
`LightweightTypeReference`	`toLightweightTypeReference(org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmTypeReference reference)`	Can be used to convert `JvmTypeReferences` in the context of the newly forked state.

  - assignType
```
void assignType(org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmIdentifiableElement element,
                LightweightTypeReference actualType)
```
    The given element is tagged with the given type. If this type is null, it is treated like an error type.
  - getForkedState
```
ITypeComputationState getForkedState()
```
    Returns the forked state that knows about the newly assigned types.
  - getReferenceOwner
```
ITypeReferenceOwner getReferenceOwner()
```
    Returns the current owner.
  - toLightweightTypeReference
```
LightweightTypeReference toLightweightTypeReference(org.eclipse.xtext.common.types.JvmTypeReference reference)
```
    Can be used to convert JvmTypeReferences in the context of the newly forked state.
    
    Parameters:
    
    reference - the reference to convert.
    
    Returns:
    
    the converted reference.
