Instance Method Detail

def annotation(type : TypeNode) : Annotation | NilLiteral #

Returns the last Annotation with the given #type attached to this variable or NilLiteral if there are none.

def annotations(type : TypeNode) : ArrayLiteral(Annotation) #

Returns an array of annotations with the given #type attached to this variable, or an empty ArrayLiteral if there are none.


[View source]
def annotations : ArrayLiteral(Annotation) #

Returns an array of all annotations attached to this variable, or an empty ArrayLiteral if there are none.

def default_value : ASTNode #

Returns the default value of this variable. Note that if the variable doesn't have a default value, or the default value is nil, a NilLiteral will be returned. To distinguish between these cases, use #has_default_value?.


[View source]
def has_default_value? : BoolLiteral #

Returns whether this variable has a default value (which can in turn be nil).


[View source]
def name : MacroId #

Returns the name of this variable.


[View source]
def type : TypeNode | NilLiteral #

Returns the type of this variable, if known, or nil.
