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 Details

    • isSimpleName

      public static boolean isSimpleName​(Node node)
      Is the given node a non-qualified name?
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the node is not a name

    • isQualifiedName

      public static boolean isQualifiedName​(Node node)
      Is the given node a qualified name?
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the node is not a name

    • isAName

      public static boolean isAName​(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​(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​(Node name, TypeSolver typeSolver)

    • syntacticClassificationAccordingToContext

      public static NameCategory syntacticClassificationAccordingToContext​(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​(Node name)
      Return the string representation of the name
