Interface FieldModel

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

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

ClassBuilder.withField(String, ClassDesc, Consumer) is the main way to construct fields. ClassBuilder.transformField(FieldModel, FieldTransform) allows creating a new field by selectively processing the original field elements and directing the results to a field builder.

All field attributes are accessible as member elements.
