Method Detail

### values

    public static PropertyType[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (PropertyType c : PropertyType.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static PropertyType valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### getValueClass

    public Class<?> getValueClass()

### getName

    public String getName()

### getComparator

    public Comparator<?> getComparator()

### getCanonicalValue

    public Object getCanonicalValue(Object value)

  Obtain a value of this type in its canonical form. Some property types allow values to be instances of the canonical class or an alternative class. This method ensures that the value is always an instance of the canonical class.

  Note that this method does not cast from one property type to another.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the property value
  Returns:
    the value in canonical form

### isTypeFor

    public final boolean isTypeFor(Object value)

### isTypeForEach

    public final boolean isTypeForEach(Iterable<?> values)

### isTypeForEach

    public final boolean isTypeForEach(Iterator<?> values)

### discoverType

    public static PropertyType discoverType(Object value)

### discoverType

    public static PropertyType discoverType(Class<?> clazz)

  Discover the most appropriate `PropertyType` whose values can be assigned to variables or parameters of the supplied type. This method does check whether the supplied `Class` is an array, in which case it just evalutes the `component type` of the array.

  Parameters:
    `clazz` - the class representing the type of a value or parameter; may not be null
  Returns:
    the PropertyType that best represents the type whose values can be used as a value in the supplied class, or null if no matching PropertyType could be found

### iterator

    public static Iterator<PropertyType> iterator()

  Return an iterator over all the property type enumeration literals.

  Returns:
    an immutable iterator

### valueFor

    public static PropertyType valueFor(String typeNameInAnyCase)
