-
getDisplayName( [cx])
-
Resolves to the type display name for this type.
Attempts to look up the lexicon value for the given type if context is
provided. If not found, the display name is given as the type name with
spaces added between words based upon capital letters.If no context provided, it will return the friendly version of the type
name.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description cxObject <optional>
Returns:
- Type
- Promise.<string> | string

getIcon()
-
Return the Type's Icon.
Returns:
- Type
- baja.Icon
-
getInstance()
-
Return an instance of the Type.
A Type may have an Function Constructor associated with it. If a Constructor
is found with this Type, it is used to return an instance.If a Constructor can't be found on this Type, then the Super Types
are inspected and the first Constructor found is used instead.
This provides an elegant 'dynamic typing' mechanism whereby a
Constructor is not needed for every single Type.If the Type is a concrete
SimpleorSingleton, then the
DEFAULTproperty on the constructor is returned.Throws:
-
if an instance of the Type can't be created
(e.g. if the Type is an interface, is abstract, or if no
constructor can be found). - Type

instance of Type.
