Method Details

of

static <T extends DataObject>
@NonNull DataObjectStep<T> of(@NonNull Class<T> type)

of

static <T extends DataObject,
C extends ChoiceIn<?> & DataObject>
@NonNull DataObjectStep<T> of(@Nullable Class<C> caze,
 @NonNull Class<T> type)

type

@NonNull Class<T> type()

Return the data object type backing this PathArgument.

Returns:

Data object type

caseType

@Nullable Class<? extends DataObject> caseType()

Return an optional enclosing case type. This is used only when type() references a node defined in a grouping which is reference inside a case statement in order to safely reference the node.

Returns:

case class, or null

compareTo

default int compareTo(DataObjectStep<?> other)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<T extends DataObject>
