An empty array of elements.

Since:

2.1.1

Method Details

getName

@NonNull
@NonNull String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface Named

Returns:

The name of the element. For a type this represents the binary name.

isPackagePrivate

default boolean isPackagePrivate()

Returns:

True if the element is package private.

Since:

2.3.0

isSynthetic

default boolean isSynthetic()

Checks if the current element is synthetic - not user defined but created by the compiler.

Returns:

True if the element is synthetic.

Since:

4.0.0

isProtected

boolean isProtected()

Returns:

True if the element is protected.

isPublic

boolean isPublic()

Returns:

True if the element is public.

getNativeType

@NonNull
@NonNull Object getNativeType()

Returns the native underlying type. This API is extended by all inject language implementations. The object returned by this method will be the language native type the information is being retrieved from.

Returns:

The native type

getModifiers

default Set<ElementModifier> getModifiers()

Returns:

The ElementModifier types for this class element

Since:

3.0.0

getSimpleName

@NonNull
default @NonNull String getSimpleName()

The simple name of the element. For a class this will be the name without the package.

Returns:

The simple name

isAbstract

default boolean isAbstract()

Returns:

True if the element is abstract.

isStatic

default boolean isStatic()

Returns:

True if the element is static.

getDocumentation

default Optional<String> getDocumentation()

Returns:

The documentation, if any.

isPrivate

default boolean isPrivate()

Returns:

True if the element is private.

isFinal

default boolean isFinal()

Returns:

True if the element is final.

getDescription

@NonNull
default @NonNull String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: Described

A description that describes this object.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Described

Returns:

The description

getDescription

@NonNull
default @NonNull String getDescription(boolean simple)

Description copied from interface: Described

Allows returning a more simple description if requested.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Described

Parameters:

simple - True if a simple description is required

Returns:

The simple description

withAnnotationMetadata

default Element withAnnotationMetadata(AnnotationMetadata annotationMetadata)

Copies this element and overrides its annotations.

Parameters:

annotationMetadata - The annotation metadata

Returns:

A new element

Since:

4.0.0

annotate

default <T extends Annotation> Element annotate(String annotationType,
 Consumer<AnnotationValueBuilder<T>> consumer)

Description copied from interface: MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate

Annotate this element with the given annotation type. If the annotation is already present then any values populated by the builder will be merged/overridden with the existing values.

Specified by:

annotate in interface MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate<Element>

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

consumer - A function that receives the AnnotationValueBuilder

Returns:

This element

removeAnnotation

default Element removeAnnotation(String annotationType)

Description copied from interface: MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate

Removes an annotation of the given type from the element.

If the annotation features any stereotypes these will also be removed unless there are other annotations that reference the stereotype to be removed.

In the case of repeatable annotations this method will remove all repeated annotations, effectively clearing out all declared repeated annotations of the given type.

Specified by:

removeAnnotation in interface MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate<Element>

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

Returns:

This element

removeAnnotation

default <T extends Annotation> Element removeAnnotation(Class<T> annotationType)

Specified by:

removeAnnotation in interface MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate<Element>

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

Returns:

This element

• MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate.removeAnnotation(String)

Description copied from interface: MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate

Removes all annotations that pass the given predicate.

Specified by:

removeAnnotationIf in interface MutableAnnotationMetadataDelegate<Element>

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

predicate - The predicate

Returns:

This element

removeStereotype
