Class NameLogic

  • public class NameLogic
extends Object
    NameLogic contains a set of static methods to implement the abstraction of a "Name" as defined in Chapter 6 of the JLS. This code could be moved to an interface or base class in a successive version of JavaParser.

      Modifier and Type Method Description
      static NameCategory classifyReference​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name, com.github.javaparser.symbolsolver.model.resolution.TypeSolver typeSolver)  
      static NameRole classifyRole​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
      What is the Role of the given name? Does it represent a Declaration or a Reference? This classification is purely syntactical, i.e., it does not require symbol resolution.
      static boolean isAName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
      Does the Node represent a Name? Note that while most specific AST classes either always represent names or never represent names there are exceptions as the FieldAccessExpr
      static boolean isQualifiedName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
      Is the given node a qualified name?
      static boolean isSimpleName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
      Is the given node a non-qualified name?
      static String nameAsString​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
      Return the string representation of the name
      static NameCategory syntacticClassificationAccordingToContext​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
      See JLS 6.5.1 Syntactic Classification of a Name According to Context.

      • isSimpleName

        public static boolean isSimpleName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
        Is the given node a non-qualified name?
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the node is not a name

      • isQualifiedName

        public static boolean isQualifiedName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
        Is the given node a qualified name?
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the node is not a name

      • isAName

        public static boolean isAName​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node node)
        Does the Node represent a Name? Note that while most specific AST classes either always represent names or never represent names there are exceptions as the FieldAccessExpr

      • classifyRole

        public static NameRole classifyRole​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
        What is the Role of the given name? Does it represent a Declaration or a Reference? This classification is purely syntactical, i.e., it does not require symbol resolution. For this reason in the future this could be moved to the core module of JavaParser.

      • classifyReference

        public static NameCategory classifyReference​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name,
                                             com.github.javaparser.symbolsolver.model.resolution.TypeSolver typeSolver)

      • syntacticClassificationAccordingToContext

        public static NameCategory syntacticClassificationAccordingToContext​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
        See JLS 6.5.1 Syntactic Classification of a Name According to Context. Most users do not want to call directly this method but call classifyReference instead.

      • nameAsString

        public static String nameAsString​(com.github.javaparser.ast.Node name)
        Return the string representation of the name
