Interface ExtensibleType<T extends ExtensibleType>

Type Parameters:
T - parent type which is always the same as the child type (classes extends classes, interfaces extends interfaces...)
All Superinterfaces:
AnnotatedElement, Type
All Known Subinterfaces:
AnnotationType, ClassModel, EnumType, InterfaceModel
All Known Implementing Classes:
AnnotationTypeImpl, ClassModelImpl, EnumTypeImpl, ExtensibleTypeImpl, InterfaceModelImpl
public interface ExtensibleType<T extends ExtensibleType> extends Type
An extensible type is a type that can be subclassed like an interface or a class.

  • Method Details

    • getParent

      T getParent()
      Return the parent type instance. If there are more than one parent with the same FQCN within the various URI we parsed, we return the one defined within the same URI (if it exists). If there is more than one parsed metadata with the same FQCN and none of them are defined within the same URI as this type, then null is returned.
      Returns:
      the parent type instance or null

    • isInstanceOf

      boolean isInstanceOf(String className)
      Whether the type is an instance of the specified parent type or not.
      Parameters:
      className -
      Returns:
      true if the type is an instance of the given parent type.

    • subTypes

      Collection<T> subTypes()
      Returns the child subtypes of this type. A child subtype is a type which parent is this type.
      Returns:
      the immediate subtypes

    • allSubTypes

      Collection<T> allSubTypes()
      Returns all the children subtypes (including grand children) of this type.
      Returns:
      all the children

    • getInterfaces

      Collection<InterfaceModel> getInterfaces()
      Returns an unmodifiable list of interfaces implemented or extended by this type.
      Returns:
      collection of implemented or extended interfaces

    • getParameterizedInterfaces

      Collection<ParameterizedInterfaceModel> getParameterizedInterfaces()
      Returns:
      the list of parameterized type of superclass and implemented interface.

    • getParameterizedInterface

      ParameterizedInterfaceModel getParameterizedInterface(ExtensibleType type)
      Parameters:
      type - the extensible type
      Returns:
      the parameterized type of the respective extensible type

    • getFormalTypeParameters

      Map<String,ParameterizedInterfaceModel> getFormalTypeParameters()
      Represents the raw generic type and bounded parameterized type.
      Returns:
      the list of generic type parameter declared on the class.

    • getStaticFields

      Collection<FieldModel> getStaticFields()
      Returns an unmodifiable list of static fields defined by this type

    • getSimpleName

      String getSimpleName()
      Returns the unqualified name of the underlying type.
      Returns:
      the simple name of class
