Constructors

FunctionDefinitionAst(IScriptExtent, Boolean, Boolean, String, IEnumerable<ParameterAst>, ScriptBlockAst)

Construct a function definition.

Properties

Body	The body of the function. This property is never null.
Extent	The extent in the source this ast represents. (Inherited from Ast)
IsFilter	If true, the filter keyword was used.
IsWorkflow	If true, the workflow keyword was used.
Name	The name of the function or filter. This property is never null or empty.
Parameters	The parameters specified immediately after the function name, or null if no parameters were specified. It is possible that this property may have a value and ParamBlock to also have a value. Normally this is not allowed in a valid script, but in one rare case it is allowed: function foo() { param($a) } In this example, the parameters specified after the function name must be empty or the script is not valid.
Parent	The parent tree for this node. (Inherited from Ast)

Methods

Copy()	Copy the FunctionDefinitionAst instance.
Find(Func<Ast,Boolean>, Boolean)	Traverse the entire Ast, returning the first node in the tree for which predicate returns true. (Inherited from Ast)
FindAll(Func<Ast,Boolean>, Boolean)	Traverse the entire Ast, returning all nodes in the tree for which predicate returns true. (Inherited from Ast)
GetHelpContent()	Return the help content, if any, for the function.
GetHelpContent(Dictionary<Ast,Token[]>)	Return the help content, if any, for the function. Use this overload when parsing multiple functions within a single scope.
SafeGetValue()	Constructs the resultant object from the AST and returns it if it is safe. (Inherited from Ast)
SafeGetValue(Boolean)	Constructs the resultant object from the AST and returns it if it is safe. (Inherited from Ast)
ToString()	Formats the ast and returns a string. (Inherited from Ast)
Visit(AstVisitor)	Visit each node in the Ast, calling the methods in astVisitor for each node in the ast. (Inherited from Ast)
Visit(ICustomAstVisitor)	Visit the Ast using a visitor that can choose how the tree traversal is performed. This visit method is for advanced uses of the visitor pattern where an AstVisitor is insufficient. (Inherited from Ast)
