MethodDeclaration class abstract

A method declaration.

methodDeclaration ::= methodSignature FunctionBody

methodSignature ::= 'external'? ('abstract' | 'static')? Type? ('get' | 'set')? methodName TypeParameterList FormalParameterList

methodName ::= SimpleIdentifier | 'operator' SimpleIdentifier

Prior to the 'extension-methods' experiment, these nodes were always children of a class declaration. When the experiment is enabled, these nodes can also be children of an extension declaration.

Clients may not extend, implement or mix-in this class.

Properties

beginToken → Token
Return the first token included in this node's source range.
no setterinherited
body → FunctionBody
Return the body of the method.
no setter
childEntities → Iterable<SyntacticEntity>
Return an iterator that can be used to iterate through all the entities (either AST nodes or tokens) that make up the contents of this node, including doc comments but excluding other comments.
no setterinherited
declaredElement → ExecutableElement?
Return the element associated with this declaration, or null if either this node corresponds to a list of declarations or if the AST structure has not been resolved.
no setteroverride
declaredElement2 → ExecutableElement?
Return the element associated with this declaration, or null if either this node corresponds to a list of declarations or if the AST structure has not been resolved.
no setteroverride
documentationComment → Comment?
Return the documentation comment associated with this node, or null if this node does not have a documentation comment associated with it.
no setterinherited
end → int
Return the offset of the character immediately following the last character of this node's source range.
no setterinherited
endToken → Token
Return the last token included in this node's source range.
no setterinherited
externalKeyword → Token?
Return the token for the 'external' keyword, or null if the constructor is not external.
no setter
firstTokenAfterCommentAndMetadata → Token
Return the first token following the comment and metadata.
no setterinherited
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isAbstract → bool
Return true if this method is declared to be an abstract method.
no setter
isGetter → bool
Return true if this method declares a getter.
no setter
isOperator → bool
Return true if this method declares an operator.
no setter
isSetter → bool
Return true if this method declares a setter.
no setter
isStatic → bool
Return true if this method is declared to be a static method.
no setter
isSynthetic → bool
Return true if this node is a synthetic node.
no setterinherited
length → int
Return the number of characters in the syntactic entity's source range.
no setterinherited
metadata → NodeList<Annotation>
Return the annotations associated with this node.
no setterinherited
modifierKeyword → Token?
Return the token representing the 'abstract' or 'static' keyword, or null if neither modifier was specified.
no setter
name → SimpleIdentifier
Return the name of the method.
no setter
name2 → Token
Return the name of the method.
no setter
offset → int
Return the offset from the beginning of the file to the first character in the syntactic entity.
no setterinherited
operatorKeyword → Token?
Return the token representing the 'operator' keyword, or null if this method does not declare an operator.
no setter
parameters → FormalParameterList?
Return the parameters associated with the method, or null if this method declares a getter.
no setter
parent → AstNode?
Return this node's parent node, or null if this node is the root of an AST structure.
no setterinherited
propertyKeyword → Token?
Return the token representing the 'get' or 'set' keyword, or null if this is a method declaration rather than a property declaration.
no setter
returnType → TypeAnnotation?
Return the return type of the method, or null if no return type was declared.
no setter
root → AstNode
Return the node at the root of this node's AST structure.
no setterinherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
sortedCommentAndAnnotations → List<AstNode>
Return a list containing the comment and annotations associated with this node, sorted in lexical order.
no setterinherited

Return the type parameters associated with this method, or null if this method is not a generic method.
no setter

Methods

accept<E>(AstVisitor<E> visitor) → E?
Use the given visitor to visit this node.
inherited
findPrevious(Token target) → Token?
Return the token before target or null if it cannot be found.
inherited
getProperty<E>(String name) → E?
Return the value of the property with the given name, or null if this node does not have a property with the given name.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
setProperty(String name, Object? value) → void

inherited
thisOrAncestorMatching<E extends AstNode>(bool predicate(AstNode)) → E?

inherited
toSource() → String
Return a textual description of this node in a form approximating valid source.
inherited
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
visitChildren(AstVisitor visitor) → void
