TypeName¶

class dsviper.TypeName(name_space, name)¶

Bases: object

Describes the name of a type: its namespace and its identifier.

Build one to look a registered type up by name - that is what DefinitionsInspector.check_structure, check_concept, check_club and check_enumeration take. An attachment is not a type but a declaration binding a concept to one, so check_attachment takes its identifier instead. Pass NameSpace.GLOBAL for a type of the global namespace.

Two are equal when their namespaces’ uuids and their names are.

name() → str¶: Return the name alone, without the namespace it sits in.

name_space() → NameSpace¶: Return the namespace.

representation() → str¶

Return the name qualified by its namespace, App::Profile.

The bare name for a type of the global namespace. Where a shorter spelling may still be unambiguous, DefinitionsInspector.representation answers that instead, knowing what else is registered.

It is a name, not an identity: two namespaces may share one.

representation_in(name_space: NameSpace) → str¶

Return the name as written from inside name_space.

The bare name when it sits in that namespace, the qualified one otherwise.
