class Type

The haXe Reflection API enables you to retreive informations about any value, Classes and Enums at runtime.

static function createEmptyInstance<T>(cl : Class<T>) : T: Similar to Reflect.createInstance excepts that the constructor is not called. This enables you to create an instance without any side-effect.
static function createInstance<T>(cl : Class<T>, args : Array<Dynamic>) : T: Creates an instance of the given class with the list of constructor arguments.
static function enumConstructor(e : Dynamic) : String: Returns the constructor of an enum
static function enumEq<T>(a : T, b : T) : Bool: Recursively compare two enums constructors and parameters.
static function enumIndex(e : Dynamic) : Int: Returns the index of the constructor of an enum
static function enumParameters(e : Dynamic) : Array<Dynamic>: Returns the parameters of an enum
static function getClass<T>(o : T) : Class<T>: Returns the class of a value or null if this value is not a Class instance.
static function getClassFields(c : Class<Dynamic>) : Array<String>: Returns the list of a class static fields.
static function getClassName(c : Class<Dynamic>) : String: Returns the complete name of a class.
static function getEnum(o : Dynamic) : Enum: Returns the enum of a value or null if this value is not an Enum instance.
static function getEnumConstructs(e : Enum) : Array<String>: Returns all the available constructor names for an enum.
static function getEnumName(e : Enum) : String: Returns the complete name of an enum.
static function getInstanceFields(c : Class<Dynamic>) : Array<String>: Returns the list of instance fields.
static function getSuperClass(c : Class<Dynamic>) : Class<Dynamic>: Returns the super-class of a class, or null if no super class.
static function resolveClass(name : String) : Class<Dynamic>: Evaluates a class from a name. The class must have been compiled to be accessible.
static function resolveEnum(name : String) : Enum: Evaluates an enum from a name. The enum must have been compiled to be accessible.
static function toClass(t : Dynamic) : Class<Dynamic>: Converts a value to a Class or returns null if the value is not a Class.
static function toEnum(t : Dynamic) : Enum: Converts a value to an Enum or returns null if the value is not an Enum.
static function typeof(v : Dynamic) : ValueType: Returns the runtime type of a value.
