isExternal

abstract val isExternal: Boolean

true if this function is external. See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.

isInfix

abstract val isInfix: Boolean

true if this function is infix. See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.

isInline

abstract val isInline: Boolean

true if this function is inline. See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.

isOperator

abstract val isOperator: Boolean

true if this function is operator. See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.

isSuspend

abstract val isSuspend: Boolean

true if this is a suspending function.

isAbstract

abstract val isAbstract: Boolean

true if this callable is abstract.

isFinal

abstract val isFinal: Boolean

true if this callable is final.

isOpen

abstract val isOpen: Boolean

true if this callable is open.

name

abstract val name: String

The name of this callable as it was declared in the source code. If the callable has no name, a special invented name is created. Nameless callables include:

parameters

abstract val parameters: List<KParameter>

Parameters required to make a call to this callable. If this callable requires a this instance or an extension receiver parameter, they come first in the list in that order.

returnType

abstract val returnType: KType

The type of values returned by this callable.

typeParameters

abstract val typeParameters: List<KTypeParameter>

The list of type parameters of this callable.

visibility

abstract val visibility: KVisibility?

Visibility of this callable, or null if its visibility cannot be represented in Kotlin.

call

abstract fun call(vararg args: Any?): R

Calls this callable with the specified list of arguments and returns the result. Throws an exception if the number of specified arguments is not equal to the size of parameters, or if their types do not match the types of the parameters.

callBy

abstract fun callBy(args: Map<KParameter, Any?>): R

Calls this callable with the specified mapping of parameters to arguments and returns the result. If a parameter is not found in the mapping and is not optional (as per KParameter.isOptional), or its type does not match the type of the provided value, an exception is thrown.

extensionReceiverParameter

val KCallable<*>.extensionReceiverParameter: KParameter?

Returns a parameter representing the extension receiver instance needed to call this callable, or null if this callable is not an extension.

instanceParameter

val KCallable<*>.instanceParameter: KParameter?

Returns a parameter representing the this instance needed to call this callable, or null if this callable is not a member of a class and thus doesn't take such parameter.

isAccessible

var KCallable<*>.isAccessible: Boolean

Provides a way to suppress JVM access checks for a callable.

javaConstructor

val <T> KFunction<T>.javaConstructor: Constructor<T>?

Returns a Java Constructor instance corresponding to the given Kotlin function, or null if this function is not a constructor or cannot be represented by a Java Constructor.

javaMethod

val KFunction<*>.javaMethod: Method?

Returns a Java Method instance corresponding to the given Kotlin function, or null if this function is a constructor or cannot be represented by a Java Method.

valueParameters

val KCallable<*>.valueParameters: List<KParameter>

Returns parameters of this callable, excluding the this instance and the extension receiver parameter.

findAnnotation

fun <T : Annotation> KAnnotatedElement.findAnnotation(): T?

Returns an annotation of the given type on this element.

findParameterByName

fun KCallable<*>.findParameterByName(
    name: String
): KParameter?

Returns the parameter of this callable with the given name, or null if there's no such parameter.

reflect

fun <R> Function<R>.reflect(): KFunction<R>?

This is an experimental API. Given a class for a compiled Kotlin lambda or a function expression, returns a KFunction instance providing introspection capabilities for that lambda or function expression and its parameters. Not all features are currently supported, in particular KCallable.call and KCallable.callBy will fail at the moment.

Getter

interface Getter<out R> : Accessor<R>, KFunction<R>

Getter of the property is a get method declared alongside the property.

Setter

interface Setter<R> : Accessor<R>, KFunction<Unit>

Setter of the property is a set method declared alongside the property.
