class Crystal::Macros::ClassDef

Overview

A class definition.

Every class definition node is equivalent to:

{% begin %}
  {% "abstract".id if node.abstract? %} {{ node.kind }} {{ node.name }} {% if superclass = node.superclass %}< {{ superclass }}{% end %}
    {{ node.body }}
  end
{% end %}

Instance Method Detail

def abstract? : BoolLiteral #

Returns whether this node defines an abstract class or struct.


[View source]
def body : ASTNode #

Returns the body of this type definition.


[View source]
def kind : MacroId #

Returns the keyword used to define this type.

For ClassDef this is either class or struct.


[View source]
def name(*, generic_args : BoolLiteral = true) : Path | Generic #

Returns the name of this type definition.

If this node defines a generic type, and generic_args is true, returns a Generic whose type arguments are MacroIds, possibly with a Splat at the splat index. Otherwise, this method returns a Path.


[View source]
def splat_index : NumberLiteral | NilLiteral #

Returns the splat index of this type definition's generic type parameters.

Returns nil if this type definition isn't generic or if there isn't a splat parameter.


[View source]
def struct? : BoolLiteral #

Returns true if this node defines a struct, false if this node defines a class.


[View source]
def superclass : ASTNode #

Returns the superclass of this type definition, or a Nop if one isn't specified.


[View source]
def type_vars : ArrayLiteral #

Returns an array of MacroIds of this type definition's generic type parameters.

On a non-generic type definition, returns an empty array.
