Metaclass of Class items.
Class Class from \
BOM( )
This is the class reflecting falcon class items. A class is a callable item that can generate instances.
| Methods | |
| attributes | Returns a dictionary containing annotation attributes of the given class. |
| properties | Returns all the properties in the class. |
| Methods inherited from class BOM | |
| __add | Overrides binary addition operand. |
| __call | Overrides call operator "self()". |
| __dec | Overrides decrement unary prefix operand. |
| __decpost | Overrides decrement unary postfix operand. |
| __div | Overrides binary division operand. |
| __getIndex | Overrides array access operator [] |
| __inc | Overrides increment unary prefix operand. |
| __incpost | Overrides increment unary postifx operand. |
| __mod | Overrides modulo operand. |
| __mul | Overrides binary multiplication operand. |
| __pow | Overrides power operand. |
| __setIndex | Overrides array write operator [] |
| __sub | Overrides binary subtraction operand. |
| baseClass | Returns the class item from which an object has been instantiated. |
| bound | Determines if an item is bound or not. |
| className | Returns the name of the class an instance is instantiated from. |
| clone | Performs a deep copy of the item. |
| compare | Performs a lexicographical comparison. |
| derivedFrom | Checks if this item has a given parent. |
| describe | Returns the deep contents of an item on a string representation. |
| isCallable | Determines if an item is callable. |
| len | Retrieves the length of a collection |
| metaclass | Returns the metaclass associated with this item. |
| ptr | Returns a raw memory pointer out of this data (as an integer). |
| serialize | Serialize the item on a stream for persistent storage. |
| toString | Coverts the object to string. |
| typeId | Returns an integer indicating the type of this item. |
Returns a dictionary containing annotation attributes of the given class.
Class.attributes()
| Return | Nil if the class has no attributes, or a string-indexed dictionary. |
See also: attributes.
Returns all the properties in the class.
Class.properties()
| Return | An array of strings representing property names. |
This method returns all the properties in this class.
The property list includes properties that refer to any kind of data, including functions (that is, methods), but it doesn't include properties in the metaclass of this item (FBOM properties).
The returned list is ordered by UNICODE value of the property names.
Note: Subclasses are seen as properties, so they will returned in the list too.
