RuntimeMacro (PMD Velocity 6.22.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.vm.directive.Directive
- - net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.vm.directive.RuntimeMacro

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable
```
@Deprecated
public class RuntimeMacro
extends Directive
```
Deprecated.
for removal in PMD 7.0.0

This class acts as a proxy for potential macros. When the AST is built this class is inserted as a placeholder for the macro (whether or not the macro is actually defined). At render time we check whether there is a implementation for the macro call. If an implementation cannot be found the literal text is rendered.

Since:

1.6

```
public RuntimeMacro(String macroName)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Create a RuntimeMacro instance. Macro name and source template stored for later use.
    
    Parameters:
    
    macroName - name of the macro
- Method Detail
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Return name of this Velocimacro.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in class Directive
    
    Returns:
    
    The name of this Velocimacro.
  - getScopeName
```
public String getScopeName()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Override to always return "macro". We don't want to use the macro name here, since when writing VTL that uses the scope, we are within a #macro call. The macro name will instead be used as the scope name when defining the body of a BlockMacro.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getScopeName in class Directive
    
    Returns:
    
    the name to be used when a scope control is provided for this directive.
  - getType
```
public int getType()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Velocimacros are always LINE type directives.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in class Directive
    
    Returns:
    
    The type of this directive.
