    Methods

    assertAssignableTo

    ▸ assertAssignableTo(type, propertyName?, argumentName?): void

    Asserts that this type is assignable to another type.

    This will check for generic type arguments as well.

    Pasram

    type The type to check against.

    Throws

    AssignmentTypeError If the types are not assignable.

    Throws

    PropertyAssignmentTypeError If a property is not assignable.

    Throws

    ArgumentAssignmentTypeError If an argument is not assignable.

    Since

    0.12.0

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    type ProcessedType -
    propertyName? string The name of the property that is being assigned. This is used for error messages.
    argumentName? string The name of the argument that is being assigned to. This is used for error messages.

    Returns

    void

    Overrides

    GenericBuiltInType.assertAssignableTo

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/semantics/types/built-in/func.ts:69


    changeGenericTypeArguments

    ▸ changeGenericTypeArguments(genericTypeArguments): BuiltInTypeFunc

    Changes the generic type arguments for this generic type and returns a new generic type instance with the new arguments where the types have been adjusted.

    Since

    0.12.0

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    genericTypeArguments BuiltInTypeFuncGenericArguments The new generic type arguments.

    Returns

    BuiltInTypeFunc

    Overrides

    GenericBuiltInType.changeGenericTypeArguments

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/semantics/types/built-in/func.ts:65


    getCompilableType

    ▸ getCompilableType(): CompilableType

    Gets the compilable type for this type.

    This function throws an error instead of returning undefined, since it's intended to be used in circumstances, where only due to a bug the type is not compilable. As such, it makes sense to strictly assert it will be compilable, unless an error occurs.

    Throws

    UndefinedType If the isCompilable is false, which should only occur if the identifier is of type UndefinedType.

    Since

    0.10.0

    Returns

    CompilableType

    Inherited from

    GenericBuiltInType.getCompilableType

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/semantics/types/base/processed-type.ts:60


    isAssignableTo

    ▸ isAssignableTo(type): boolean

    Returns whether this type is assignable to the given type. This discards any error messages.

    This simply returns whether the assertAssignableTo function throws an error or not.

    Since

    0.12.0

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    type ProcessedType The type to check against.

    Returns

    boolean

    Inherited from

    GenericBuiltInType.isAssignableTo

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/semantics/types/base/processed-type.ts:84


    toString

    ▸ toString(): string

    Returns the full string representation of this type.

    This also includes generic type arguments if this type is a generic type.

    Since

    0.12.0

    Returns

    string

    Inherited from

    GenericBuiltInType.toString

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/semantics/types/base/processed-type.ts:93
