Class Type

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Type>, Writable

    public class Type
    extends ModelElement
    implements Comparable<Type>
    Represents (a reference to) the type of a bean property, parameter etc. Types are managed per generated source file. Each type corresponds to a TypeMirror, i.e. there are different instances for e.g. Set<String> and Set<Integer>.

    Allows for a unified handling of declared and primitive types and usage within templates. Instances are obtained through TypeFactory.

    • Method Detail

      • getTypeMirror

        public TypeMirror getTypeMirror()
      • getPackageName

        public String getPackageName()
      • getName

        public String getName()
      • createReferenceName

        public String createReferenceName()
        Returns a String that could be used in generated code to reference to this Type.

        The first time a name is referred-to it will be marked as to be imported. For instance LocalDateTime can be one of java.time.LocalDateTime and org.joda.LocalDateTime)

        If the java.time variant is referred to first, the java.time.LocalDateTime will be imported and the org.joda variant will be referred to with its FQN.

        If the type is nested and its top level type is to be imported then the name including its top level type will be returned.

        Returns:
        Just the name if this Type will be imported, the name up to the top level Type (if the top level type is important, otherwise the fully-qualified name.
