MethodElement()

Properties

augmentation → MethodAugmentationElement?
The immediate augmentation of this element, or null if there are no augmentations. MethodAugmentationElement.augmentationTarget is the back pointer that will point at this element.
no setter
children → List<Element>
A list of this element's children. There is no guarantee of the order in which the children will be included.
no setterinherited
context → AnalysisContext
Return the analysis context in which this element is defined.
no setterinherited
declaration → MethodElement
Return the declaration of this element. If the element is a view on an element, e.g. a method from an interface type, with substituted type parameters, return the corresponding element from the class, without any substitutions. If this element is already a declaration (or a synthetic element, e.g. a synthetic property accessor), return itself.
no setteroverride
displayName → String
Return the display name of this element, possibly the empty string if this element does not have a name.
no setterinherited
documentationComment → String?
Return the content of the documentation comment (including delimiters) for this element, or null if this element does not or cannot have documentation.
no setterinherited
enclosingElement → Element
Return the element that either physically or logically encloses this element. This will be null if this element is a library because libraries are the top-level elements in the model.
no setterinherited
enclosingElement3 → Element
Return the element that either physically or logically encloses this element. This will be null if this element is a library because libraries are the top-level elements in the model.

hasVisibleForTesting → bool
Return true if this element has an annotation of the form @visibleForTesting.
no setterinherited
id → int
The unique integer identifier of this element.
no setterinherited
isAbstract → bool
Return true if this executable element is abstract. Executable elements are abstract if they are not external and have no body.
no setterinherited
isAsynchronous → bool
Return true if this executable element has body marked as being asynchronous.
no setterinherited
isExternal → bool
Return true if this executable element is external. Executable elements are external if they are explicitly marked as such using the 'external' keyword.
no setterinherited
isGenerator → bool
Return true if this executable element has a body marked as being a generator.
no setterinherited
isOperator → bool
Return true if this executable element is an operator. The test may be based on the name of the executable element, in which case the result will be correct when the name is legal.
no setterinherited
isPrivate → bool
Return true if this element is private. Private elements are visible only within the library in which they are declared.
no setterinherited
isPublic → bool
Return true if this element is public. Public elements are visible within any library that imports the library in which they are declared.
no setterinherited
isSimplyBounded → bool
If the element defines a type, indicates whether the type may safely appear without explicit type parameters as the bounds of a type parameter declaration.
no setterinherited
isStatic → bool
Return true if this element is a static element. A static element is an element that is not associated with a particular instance, but rather with an entire library or class.
no setterinherited
isSynchronous → bool
Return true if this executable element has a body marked as being synchronous.
no setterinherited
isSynthetic → bool
Return true if this element is synthetic. A synthetic element is an element that is not represented in the source code explicitly, but is implied by the source code, such as the default constructor for a class that does not explicitly define any constructors.
no setterinherited
kind → ElementKind
Return the kind of element that this is.
no setterinherited
library → LibraryElement
Return the library that contains this element. This will be the element itself if it is a library element. This will be null if this element is MultiplyDefinedElement that is not contained in a library.
no setterinherited
librarySource → Source
If this target is associated with a library, return the source of the library's defining compilation unit; otherwise return null.
no setterinherited
location → ElementLocation?
Return an object representing the location of this element in the element model. The object can be used to locate this element at a later time.
no setterinherited
metadata → List<ElementAnnotation>
Return a list containing all of the metadata associated with this element. The array will be empty if the element does not have any metadata or if the library containing this element has not yet been resolved.
no setterinherited
name → String
Return the name of this element, or null if this element does not have a name.
no setterinherited
nameLength → int
Return the length of the name of this element in the file that contains the declaration of this element, or 0 if this element does not have a name.
no setterinherited
nameOffset → int
Return the offset of the name of this element in the file that contains the declaration of this element, or -1 if this element is synthetic, does not have a name, or otherwise does not have an offset.

Return the analysis session in which this element is defined.
no setterinherited
sinceSdkVersion → Version?
The version where this SDK API was added.
no setterinherited

no setterinherited
type → FunctionType
Return the type defined by this element.
no setterinherited
typeParameters → List<TypeParameterElement>
Return a list containing all of the type parameters declared by this element directly. This does not include type parameters that are declared by any enclosing elements.
no setterinherited

Methods

accept<T>(ElementVisitor<T> visitor) → T?

Return the presentation of this element as it should appear when presented to users.
inherited
getExtendedDisplayName(String? shortName) → String
Return a display name for the given element that includes the path to the compilation unit in which the type is defined. If shortName is null then displayName will be used as the name of this element. Otherwise the provided name will be used.
inherited
isAccessibleIn(LibraryElement library) → bool
Return true if this element, assuming that it is within scope, is accessible to code in the given library. This is defined by the Dart Language Specification in section 6.2:
inherited
isAccessibleIn2(LibraryElement library) → bool
Return true if this element, assuming that it is within scope, is accessible to code in the given library. This is defined by the Dart Language Specification in section 6.2:

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
thisOrAncestorMatching<E extends Element>(bool predicate(Element)) → E?
Return either this element or the most immediate ancestor of this element for which the predicate returns true, or null if there is no such element.
inherited

Return either this element or the most immediate ancestor of this element that has the given type, or null if there is no such element.
inherited
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
