  • Method Details

    • importSymbol

      void importSymbol(Symbol symbol, String alias)
      Deprecated.
      Adds an import for the given symbol if and only if the "namespace" of the provided Symbol differs from the "namespace" associated with the ImportContainer.

      "namespace" in this context can mean whatever it needs to mean for the target programming language. In some languages, it might mean the path to a file. In others, it might mean a proper namespace string. It's up to subclasses to both track a current "namespace" and implement this method in a way that makes sense.

      Parameters:
      symbol - Symbol to import if it's in another namespace.
      alias - Alias to import the symbol as.

    • toString

      String toString()
      Deprecated.
      Implementations must implement a custom toString method that converts the collected imports to code that can be written to a CodeWriter.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      Returns the collected imports as a string.
