Interface MemberUtils

All Superinterfaces:

Utils

public interface MemberUtils
extends Utils

A utility interface for handling members (such as fields, methods, constructors) from types in the javax.lang.model package.

Overview

This interface provides a set of static methods to retrieve and filter members of a type, including direct members and those inherited from superclasses and interfaces. It is designed to simplify the process of working with type elements and their enclosed elements during annotation processing.

Key Features

• getDeclaredMembers(TypeMirror) - Retrieves directly declared members of a type.
• getAllDeclaredMembers(TypeMirror) - Retrieves all declared members, including those from superclasses and interfaces.
• findDeclaredMembers(TypeMirror, Predicate...) - Retrieves and filters declared members based on provided predicates.
• findAllDeclaredMembers(TypeMirror, Predicate...) - Retrieves all declared members and applies filtering via predicates.

Example Usage

 // Retrieve all declared methods from a TypeMirror
 List<ExecutableElement> methods = findDeclaredMembers(typeMirror,
     element -> element.getKind() == ElementKind.METHOD
 );
 

 // Retrieve all fields that start with "m_"
 List<VariableElement> filteredFields = findDeclaredMembers(typeElement,
     element -> element.getKind() == ElementKind.FIELD,
     element -> element.getSimpleName().toString().startsWith("m_")
 );
