getAnnotationMetadata

Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns:

The name of the element.

isProtected

boolean isProtected()

Returns:

True if the element is protected.

isPublic

boolean isPublic()

Returns:

True if the element is public.

getNativeType

Object getNativeType()

Returns the native underlying type. This API is extended by all of the inject language implementations. The object returned by this method will be the language native type the information is being retrieved from.

Returns:

The native type

annotate

@Nonnull
default <T extends Annotation> Element annotate(@Nonnull
                                                         String annotationType,
                                                         @Nonnull
                                                         Consumer<AnnotationValueBuilder<T>> consumer)

Annotate this element with the given annotation type. If the annotation is already present then any values populated by the builder will be merged/overridden with the existing values.

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

consumer - A function that receives the AnnotationValueBuilder

Returns:

This element

annotate

@Nonnull
default <T extends Annotation> Element annotate(@Nonnull
                                                         String annotationType)

Annotate this element with the given annotation type. If the annotation is already present then any values populated by the builder will be merged/overridden with the existing values.

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

Returns:

This element

annotate

@Nonnull
default <T extends Annotation> Element annotate(@Nonnull
                                                         Class<T> annotationType,
                                                         @Nonnull
                                                         Consumer<AnnotationValueBuilder<T>> consumer)

Annotate this element with the given annotation type. If the annotation is already present then any values populated by the builder will be merged/overridden with the existing values.

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:

annotationType - The annotation type

consumer - A function that receives the AnnotationValueBuilder

Returns:

The AnnotationValueBuilder

annotate

@Nonnull
default <T extends Annotation> Element annotate(@Nonnull
                                                         Class<T> annotationType)

Annotate this element with the given annotation type. If the annotation is already present then any values populated by the builder will be merged/overridden with the existing values.

Type Parameters:

T - The annotation generic type

Parameters:
