jsii-reflect: strongly-type reflection library and tools for jsii
jsii-reflect providers a reflection API for jsii type systems. It consumes
.jsii
manifest files (either directly or by traversing a closure of npm
modules) and creates an in-memory object model that allows exploring the type
system via a strongly-typed API.
Installation
Install the npm module:
$ npm i jsii-reflect
Import the TypeSystem
class:
import { TypeSystem } from 'jsii-reflect';
Loading Assemblies
Create a TypeSystem
:
const typesystem = new TypeSystem();
Now, we want to load assemblies into the type system via the typesystem.load()
method.
You can either pass in a path to a .jsii
file, in which case you will have to
eventually load the .jsii files of all the dependencies.
typesystem.load('jsii-calc/.jsii');
typesystem.load('jsii-calc-lib/.jsii');
typesystem.load('jsii-calc-base/.jsii');
typesystem.load('jsii-calc-base-of-base/.jsii');
Or, you can point load
to an npm module's directory, in which case the loader
will transitively load all dependent modules:
// will automatically bring in all dependencies
typesystem.load('jsii-calc');
Reflecting on the Type System
Now that your TypeSystem
is loaded with assemblies, you can use the APIs to
query and reflect on the types.
For example:
const calc = typesystem.findClass('jsii-calc.Calculator');
const actual = new Array<string>();
calc.getMethods(/* inherited */ true).forEach(method => {
actual.push(`${method.name} from ${method.parentType.name}`);
});
expect(actual).toEqual([
"typeName from Base",
"toString from Value",
"toString from Operation",
"toString from CompositeOperation",
"add from Calculator",
"mul from Calculator",
"neg from Calculator",
"pow from Calculator",
"readUnionValue from Calculator"
]);
jsii-tree
jsii-tree is a command-line tool which can be used to print an ASCII tree of a jsii type system:
$ jsii-tree jsii-calc
