Method Details

getType

@NonNull
@NonNull ClassElement getType()

Returns:

The type of the element

getGenericType

@NonNull
default @NonNull ClassElement getGenericType()

Returns the generic type of the element. This differs from getType() as it returns the actual type without erasure. Whilst getType() is often needed to produce the correct byte code when generating code via ASM, the getGenericType() method is more useful for documentation and other types of code generation.

Returns:

The generic type

Since:

1.1.1

isPrimitive

default boolean isPrimitive()

Whether the type is primitive.

Returns:

True if it is

isVoid

default boolean isVoid()

Whether the type is void.

Returns:

True if it is

Since:

4.0.0

isArray

default boolean isArray()

Is the type an array.

Returns:

True if it is.

getArrayDimensions

default int getArrayDimensions()

If the type is an array, the number of dimensions. String[] should return 1, String[][] should return 2

Returns:

The number of dimensions
