Interface SAbstractConcept

All Superinterfaces:

SElement, SNamedElement

All Known Subinterfaces:

SConcept, SInterfaceConcept

public interface SAbstractConcept
extends SNamedElement

A descriptor of a concept. Concepts define categories for AST nodes. The descriptor is read-only, so it is not possible to change the concept through its descriptor. SConcept (and SAbstractConcept) can be constructed using id/name pair or (better) be obtained from MetaAdapterFactory. note: the relationship between SNode and SConcept is analogical to the relationship between an object and its Class in Java

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	getConceptAlias()
Collection<SContainmentLink>	getContainmentLinks()	Returns all the links this concept has, including inherited There's no "specialized links" at the compiled language level, all links are "original"

String	getHelpUrl()
SLanguage	getLanguage()	The language that defines the concept
String	getName()	Presentation of the element for an end-user.

String	getQualifiedName()	Deprecated.
Collection<SReferenceLink>	getReferenceLinks()	Returns all the references this concept has, including inherited
String	getShortDescription()
SNodeReference	getSourceNode()	Returns reference to the node, which was generated to this concept.
boolean	isAbstract()
boolean	isSubConceptOf(SAbstractConcept concept)	Either implementing or extending the supplied concept
boolean	isValid()	Returns true if this concept is fully-functional.

Method Detail

getName

@NotNull
String getName()

Description copied from interface: SNamedElement

Presentation of the element for an end-user. Unlike identity, the name is deemed user-friendly and shall not be used for persistence.

Specified by:

getName in interface SNamedElement

Returns:

the name of the concept

getLanguage

@NotNull
SLanguage getLanguage()

The language that defines the concept

Specified by:

getLanguage in interface SElement

getReferenceLinks

Collection<SReferenceLink> getReferenceLinks()

Returns all the references this concept has, including inherited

getContainmentLinks

Collection<SContainmentLink> getContainmentLinks()

Returns all the links this concept has, including inherited There's no "specialized links" at the compiled language level, all links are "original"

getProperties

Collection<SProperty> getProperties()

Returns all the properties this concept has, including inherited

isSubConceptOf

boolean isSubConceptOf(SAbstractConcept concept)

Either implementing or extending the supplied concept

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Returns:

true for interfaces and abstract concepts.

getDeclarationNode

@Deprecated
@Nullable
SNode getDeclarationNode()

Deprecated.

Returns the declaration node in case sources for this concept are present in IDE Will be removed after 3.4, use getSourceNode() instead

getSourceNode

@Nullable
SNodeReference getSourceNode()

Returns reference to the node, which was generated to this concept. The target node's concept can be different form AbstractConceptDeclaration. Generally, this method should be only used for "go to concept declaration".

Specified by:

getSourceNode in interface SElement

isValid

boolean isValid()

Returns true if this concept is fully-functional. Typically, user code should not care about this Can return false, for example, if the containing language is absent

getConceptAlias

@NotNull
String getConceptAlias()

getShortDescription

@NotNull
String getShortDescription()

getHelpUrl

@NotNull
String getHelpUrl()

getQualifiedName

@Deprecated
String getQualifiedName()

Deprecated.
