ComponentAst (Mule Artifact AST 1.0.0-20250829 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseComponentAst, BaseComponentAstDecorator, DefaultComponentAst
```
public interface ComponentAst
```
Represents the user configuration of a component (flow, config, message processor, etc) defined in an artifact.
Every ComponentAst represents the configuration of a core configuration or an extension configuration. Which configuration element this object represents is identified by a ComponentIdentifier that can be retrieved using #getIdentifier().

Since:

1.0

```
ComponentGenerationInformation getGenerationInformation()
```
    Returns:
    
    an object containing information about the generation of this component.
  - getComponentId
```
Optional<String> getComponentId()
```
    Returns:
    
    the id of this component if it has one defined, or empty otherwise.
  - getAnnotations
```
Map<String,Object> getAnnotations()
```
    An annotation is defined by the DSL processor that creates the instances of ComponentAst.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Map containing the annotations for this component.
  - getExtensionModel
```
org.mule.runtime.api.meta.model.ExtensionModel getExtensionModel()
```
    Returns:
    
    the extension model that declares the model this component represents.
  - getModel
```
<M> Optional<M> getModel(Class<M> modelClass)
```
    A component may be represented by different kinds of models, depending on the actual type of this component. Possible values may be, for instance, instances of ConfigurationModel, ComponentModel or ConnectionProviderModel (but not necessarily limited to those).
    
    Parameters:
    
    modelClass - the class of the model this method should return.
    
    Returns:
    
    the model that represents this component.
  - getType
```
org.mule.metadata.api.model.MetadataType getType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the type that represents this component, if it is represented by a type.
  - getParameter
```
ComponentParameterAst getParameter(String groupName,
                                   String paramName)
```
    Parameters:
    
    groupName - the name of the parameterGroup to get AST for.
    
    paramName - the name of the parameter to get AST for.
    
    Returns:
    
    the AST of the parameter, or null if there is no parameter with the given groupName and paramName.
  - getParameters
```
Collection<ComponentParameterAst> getParameters()
```
    A parameter may have a value either because it is explicitly set in the DSL, or because the extension model defines a default value for it.
    
    Returns:
    
    the ASTs of all the parameters, even if they don't have a value.
  - recursiveStream
```
Stream<ComponentAst> recursiveStream()
```
    This method will also traverse the complex parameters in each component.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Stream for this component and its children recursively that navigates the whole AST using TOP_DOWN direction.
  - recursiveStream
```
Stream<ComponentAst> recursiveStream(AstTraversalDirection direction)
```
    This method will also traverse the complex parameters in each component.
    
    Parameters:
    
    direction - the @{link AstTraversalDirection} used to navigate the whole AST.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Stream for this component and its children recursively that navigates the whole AST using the given @{code direction}.
  - recursiveSpliterator
```

    This method will NOT traverse any complex parameters this component has.
    
    Returns:
    
    a List for this component's children.
