Method: Puppet::Pops::Pcore.create_object_type

Defined in:
lib/puppet/pops/pcore.rb

.create_object_type(loader, ir, impl_class, type_name, parent_name, attributes_hash = EMPTY_HASH, functions_hash = EMPTY_HASH, equality = nil) ⇒ PObjectType

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Create and register a new ‘Object` type in the Puppet Type System and map it to an implementation class

Parameters:

  • loader (Loader::Loader) —

    The loader where the new type will be registered

  • ir (ImplementationRegistry) —

    The implementation registry that maps this class to the new type

  • impl_class (Class) —

    The class that is the implementation of the type

  • type_name (String) —

    The fully qualified name of the new type

  • parent_name (String, nil) —

    The fully qualified name of the parent type

  • attributes_hash (Hash{String => Object}) (defaults to: EMPTY_HASH) —

    A hash of attribute definitions for the new type

  • functions_hash (Hash{String => Object}) (defaults to: EMPTY_HASH) —

    A hash of function definitions for the new type

  • equality (Array<String>) (defaults to: nil) —

    An array with names of attributes that participate in equality comparison

Returns:

  • (PObjectType) —

    the created type. Not yet resolved
