Methods

attributes()

Returns a dictionary containing annotation attributes of the given object.

Object.attributes( )

Returns:Nil if the object has no attributes, or a string-indexed dictionary.

If the object is a class instance, this method will return the attributes of the generator class.

getProperty()

Returns the value of a property in an object.

Object.getProperty( propName )

propNameA string representing the name of a property or a method inside the object.
Returns:the property
Raises:
AccessErrorif the property can't be found.

An item representing the property is returned. The returned value is actually a copy of the property; assigning a new value to it won't have any effect on the original object.

If the property is a method, a callable method item is returned. If the property is not found, an error of class RangeError is raised.

properties()

Returns all the properties in the object.

Object.properties( )

Returns:An array of strings representing property names.

This method returns all the properties in this object.

The property list includes properties that refer to any kind of data, including functions (that is, methods), but it doesn't include properties in the metaclass of this item (FBOM properties).

The returned list is ordered by UNICODE value of the property names.

Note: Subclasses are seen as properties, so they will returned in the list too.

setProperty()

Sets the value of a proprety in this object

Object.setProperty( propName, value )

propNameA string representing the name of a property or a method inside the object.
valueThe property new value.
Raises:
AccessErrorIf the property can't be found.

Alters the value of the property in the given object. If the required property is not present, an AccessError is raised.
