Musings

Utility library for manipulating Haxe 3 macro types.

A collection of using APIs that extend the functionality of haxe.macro.Tools for working with macros.

Usage

Goals

• simpify manipulating macro types via using
• keep API as granular as possible, and use consistent langauge
• fully unit tested macro library

Conventions

Operations that translate to a new object or value use the following prefix conventions

prefix	description	example
to	convert to a specific type	string.toType(), type.toString()
get	extract a nested object or translate	type.getId(), type.getParams()
has	boolean check if contains value	expr.hasConstant()
is	boolean check if value is equal to	const.isString()
make	create a new object	expr.makeFeild("foo")

Operations that effect the source object do not use prefixes

expr.qualify()
expr.reduce();
