Class NameLogic

java.lang.Object

com.github.javaparser.symbolsolver.resolution.naming.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.

Method Detail

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,
                                             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
