Class ClassEntry
This is a foreign class that wraps over a Lily class.
public define doc: String
Return the docblock of this class, or an empty string. Docblocks are only saved when a class is parsed in manifest mode.
public define generics: List[TypeEntry]
Return the generic types available to this class. Classes defined
outside of manifest mode will always return [].
public define id: Integer
Return the internal id of this class.
public define is_foreign: Boolean
This is the opposite of ClassEntry.is_native.
public define is_native: Boolean
Returns 'true' if this class has properties and/or can be inherited.
Most native classes are found within native Lily modules. However,
foreign libraries are able to create native classes (ex: Exception).
public define methods: List[MethodEntry]
Return the methods that were declared in this class. There is no guarantee as to the order. The constructor's name is <new> to prevent it from being named.
public define name: String
Return the name of the class provided.
public define parent: Option[ClassEntry]
If this class inherits from another, this returns that class in a 'Some'. Otherwise, this returns 'None'.
public define properties: List[PropertyEntry]
Return the properties that were declared on the class provided. If a class has been loaded, the properties inside are always loaded. This is in contrast to methods which may not be loaded.
public define property_count: Integer
Return the total number of properties in this class.
The total includes properties declared in this class as well as properties declared in all parent classes.
