MethodUtils class final

Provides reflective utility functions for working with JetLeaf runtime Method and MethodDeclaration instances.

This class centralizes common operations such as collecting annotated methods and deduplicating them by identity, helping JetLeaf subsystems like lifecycle management, annotation scanning, and component discovery operate efficiently.

The static methods of MethodUtils are designed to be called by JetLeaf’s internal processors, such as the LifecycleRunListener, without requiring direct instantiation.

Example

final annotatedMethods = <Method>{};
MethodUtils.collectMethods<OnApplicationReady>(annotatedMethods);

for (final method in annotatedMethods) {
  print('Discovered lifecycle method: ${method.getName()}');
}

The above example demonstrates scanning for all runtime methods annotated with @OnApplicationReady and collecting them into a set for later invocation by JetLeaf’s event system.

Static Methods

canAcceptArguments(Map<String, dynamic> arguments, Iterable<Parameter> parameters) → bool

Checks whether a set of arguments can be applied to a list of parameters.

canAcceptNamedArguments(Map<String, dynamic> arguments, Iterable<Parameter> parameters) → bool

Checks whether a set of named arguments can be applied to a method's named parameters.

canAcceptPositionalArguments(List args, Iterable<Parameter> parameters) → bool

Checks whether a list of positional arguments can be applied to a method's positional parameters.

collectMethods<T extends ReflectableAnnotation>([bool inJetleaf = true]) → Iterable<Method>

Lazily collects all methods annotated with a JetLeaf annotation type T.

getDefaultMethodNames() → List<String>

Returns a list of method names that are considered default or framework-intrinsic and should typically be ignored when scanning for repository operations.
