Interface MethodModel

All Superinterfaces:
AttributedElement, ClassElement, ClassFileElement, CompoundElement<MethodElement>, Iterable<MethodElement>
public sealed interface MethodModel extends CompoundElement<MethodElement>, AttributedElement, ClassElement
Models a method. A method can be viewed as a composition of MethodElements, or by random access via accessor methods if only specific parts of the method is needed.

Methods can be obtained from ClassModel.methods(), or in the traversal of member elements of a class.

ClassBuilder.withMethod(String, MethodTypeDesc, int, Consumer) is the main way to construct methods. ClassBuilder.transformMethod(io.smallrye.classfile.MethodModel, io.smallrye.classfile.MethodTransform) allows creating a new method by selectively processing the original method elements and directing the results to a method builder.

All method attributes are accessible as member elements.
