Static methods for finding fields, methods and ctors that match given parameter types.

argTypesFitFunc

Source

static Bool argTypesFitFunc(Type?[] argTypes, Func func)

Returns true if the given parameter types fit the given func.

argTypesFitMethod

Source

static Bool argTypesFitMethod(Type?[] argTypes, Method method, Bool matchArity := false)

Returns true if the given parameter types fit the method signature. It matchArity is false then this will match methods with fewer args than given.

findCtor

Source

static Method? findCtor(Type type, Str ctorName, Type?[]? params := null)

Finds a named ctor with the given parameter types.

Returns null if not found.

findCtors

Source

static Method[] findCtors(Type type, Type?[]? params := null, Bool matchArity := false)

Find ctors with the given parameter types.

findField

Source

static Field? findField(Type type, Str fieldName, Type? fieldType := null, Bool? isStatic := null)

Finds a named field.

Returns null if not found.

findFields

Source

static Field[] findFields(Type type, Type fieldType, Bool? isStatic := null)

Find fields.

findMethod

Source

static Method? findMethod(Type type, Str methodName, Type?[]? params := null, Bool? isStatic := null, Type? returnType := null)

Finds a named method with the given parameter types.

Returns null if not found.

findMethods

Source

static Method[] findMethods(Type type, Type?[]? params := null, Bool? isStatic := null, Type? returnType := null, Bool matchArity := false)

Find methods with the given parameter types.

fits

Source

static Bool fits(Type? typeA, Type? typeB)

A replacement for Type.fits() that takes into account type inference for Lists and Maps, and fixes Famtom bugs. Returns true if typeA fits into typeB.

Standard usage:

Str#.fits(Obj#)        // --> true
fits(Str#, Obj#)       // --> true

List (and Map) type checking:

Int[]#.fits(Obj[]#)    // --> true
fits(Int[]#, Obj[]#)   // --> true

List (and Map) type inference. Items in Obj[] may fit into Int[].

Obj[]#.fits(Int[]#)    // --> false
fits(Obj[]#, Int[]#)   // --> true

This is particularly important when calling methods, for many Lists and Maps are defined by the shortcuts [,] and [:] which create Obj?[] and Obj:Obj? respectively.

But List (and Map) types than can never fit still return false:

Str[]#.fits(Int[]#)    // --> false
fits(Str[]#, Int[]#)   // --> false

Fantom (nullable) bug fix for Lists (and Maps):

Int[]#.fits(Int[]?#)   // --> false
fits(Int[]#, Int[]?#)  // --> true

See List Types and Nullability for bug details.
