Class Method Detail

def self.==(other : Class) #

def self.===(other) #

def self.cast(other) : self #

Casts other to this class.

This is the same as using as, but allows the class to be passed around as an argument. See the documentation on as for more information.

klass = Int32
number = [99, "str"][0]
typeof(number)             # => (String | Int32)
typeof(klass.cast(number)) # => Int32

def self.clone #

def self.dup #

def self.hash #

def self.inspect(io) #

def self.name : String #

Returns the name of this class.

String.name # => "String"

def self.nilable? #

Returns true if this class is Nil.

Int32.nilable? # => false
Nil.nilable?   # => true

def self.to_s(io) #

def self.|(other : U.class) forall U #

Returns the union type of self and other.

Int32 | Char # => (Int32 | Char)
