Method Detail

• typeOf

  public static <T> TypeOf<T> typeOf​(java.lang.Class<T> type)

  Creates an instance of TypeOf for the given Class.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the parameterized type of the given Class

  Parameters:

  type - the Class

  Returns:

  the TypeOf that captures the generic type of the given Class

• typeOf

  public static <T> TypeOf<T> typeOf​(java.lang.reflect.Type type)

  Creates an instance of TypeOf for the given Type.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the parameterized type of the given Type

  Parameters:

  type - the Type

  Returns:

  the TypeOf that captures the generic type of the given Type

• parameterizedTypeOf

  public static TypeOf<?> parameterizedTypeOf​(TypeOf<?> parameterizedType,
                                              TypeOf<?>... typeArguments)

  Constructs a new parameterized type from a given parameterized type definition and an array of type arguments. For example, parameterizedTypeOf(new TypeOf<List<?>>() {}, new TypeOf<String>() {}) is equivalent to new TypeOf<List<String>>() {}, except both the parameterized type definition and type arguments can be dynamically computed.

  Parameters:

  parameterizedType - the parameterized type from which to construct the new parameterized type

  typeArguments - the arguments with which to construct the new parameterized type

  Returns:

  true if this object represents a simple type.

  Returns:

  true if this object represents a synthetic type.

• isPublic

  public boolean isPublic()

• isWildcard

  public boolean isWildcard()

  Queries whether this object represents a wildcard type expression, such as ?, ? extends Number, or ? super Integer.

  Returns:

  true if this object represents a wildcard type expression.

  See Also:

  getUpperBound()

• getUpperBound

  @Nullable
  public TypeOf<?> getUpperBound()

  Returns:

  null if no upper-bound has been explicitly declared.

• getLowerBound

  @Nullable
  public TypeOf<?> getLowerBound()

  Returns the first declared lower-bound of the wildcard type expression represented by this type.

  Returns:

  null if no lower-bound has been explicitly declared.

• isAssignableFrom

  public final boolean isAssignableFrom​(TypeOf<?> type)

  Is this type assignable from the given type?

  Parameters:

  type - the given type

  Returns:

  true if this type is assignable from the given type, false otherwise

• isAssignableFrom

  public final boolean isAssignableFrom​(java.lang.reflect.Type type)

  Is this type assignable from the given type?

  Parameters:

  type - the given type

  Returns:

  true if this type is assignable from the given type, false otherwise

• getSimpleName

  public java.lang.String getSimpleName()

  Simple name.

  Returns:

  this type's simple name

• getFullyQualifiedName

• getConcreteClass

  public java.lang.Class<T> getConcreteClass()

  This returns the underlying, concrete Java Class.

  For example, a simple TypeOf<String> will be the given generic type String.class.
  Generic types like TypeOf<List<String>> would have the concrete type of List.class.
  For array types like TypeOf<String[]>, the concrete type will be an array of the component type (String[].class).

  Returns:

  Underlying Java Class of this type.
