cubos::core::reflection::Type class final
#include <core/reflection/type.hpp>

Describes a reflected type.

Holds the name of a type and the traits associated with it. Traits can be of any type, which means you can define your own custom traits.

Public static functions

static auto create(std::string name) -> Type&: Constructs with a type the given name.
static void destroy(Type& type): Destroys the given type.

Public functions

auto name() const -> const std::string&: Returns the name of the type.
auto shortName() const -> const std::string&: Returns the name of the type without any namespaces.
template<typename T> auto is() const -> bool: Checks if this type represents the type T.
template<typename T> auto with(T trait) -> Type&: Adds the given trait to the type.
auto with(const Type& type, void* trait, void(*)(void*) deleter) -> Type&: Adds the given trait to the type.
template<typename T> auto has() const -> bool: Returns whether the type has the given trait.
auto has(const Type& type) const -> bool: Returns whether the type has the given trait.
template<typename T> auto get() const -> const T&: Returns the given trait of the type.
auto get(const Type& type) const -> const void*: Returns the given trait of the type.
auto operator==(const Type& other) const -> bool: Equality operator.
