# Fir elements
- All fir elements are listed in [`FirTreeBuilder.kt`](src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/fir/tree/generator/FirTreeBuilder.kt).
- The syntax for declaring a new element: `element(elementName, elementKind: Kind, vararg parents: Element)`.
- `elementName` is a name of the declared element. If `elementName = Foo` then it's class will be called `FirFoo`.
- `kind` describes target package of an element. Available kinds:
- `Expression` (package `fir.expression`)
- `Declaration` (package `fir.declaration`)
- `Reference` (package `fir.references`)
- `TypeRef` (package `fir.types`)
- `Other` (package `fir`)
- if not a single parent element was declared, then the generated element will be a direct inheritor of `FirElement`.
# Types
- Types commonly used in configuration are listed in [`Types.kt`](src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/fir/tree/generator/Types.kt)
- There are multiple ways to describe a new type:
- `fun <reified T : Any> type()` uses FQN of the corresponding `T` class.
- `fun type(packageName: String, typeName: String, exactPackage: Boolean = false, kind: TypeKind = TypeKind.Interface)`.
- if `exactPackage = false`, its return type with default package prefix: `org.jetbrains.kotlin.packageName.typeName`.
- otherwise, there is no default prefix: `packageName.typeName` .
- `generatedType([packageName: String], typeName: String)` — same as `type(packageName, typeName)` but with
the `org.jetbrains.kotlin.fir` prefix .
# Content of elements
- Fields of elements are described in [`NodeConfigurator.kt`](src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/fir/tree/generator/NodeConfigurator.kt).
- Syntax:
```
elementName.configure {
// node configuration
}
```
- **Fields:**
- The `Field` class describes a field of an element.
- There are multiple ways of creating new fields, but they have similar syntax:
`field(..., nullable: Boolean = false, withReplace: Boolean)`.
- if `nullable` is true, then the type of the field will be nullable.
- if `withReplace` is true, then in the element the `replace...` method will be generated for that field.
- in place of `...` you can pass an optional name (with `String` type), and `TypeRef` or `Element` object
- if no `name` is passed, then it will be inferred based on the type.
- if `TypeRef` or `Element` have type arguments, then you can use `TypeRef.withArgs(vararg types: TypeRef)`.
- Also, you can create fields with lists of some types.
- Syntax: `fieldList([name: String], element: ElementOrRef)` (if no name is specified, it will be inferred based on the type of
`element`).
- And there are helper functions for fields of primitive types: `booleanField`, `intField`, `stringField`.
- If you want to generate a separate `transform...` function for the field, you should call `withTransform()` on it.
- To add the field to the node being configured, you should call the infix `+` operator:
`+fieldList("catches", catchClause).withTransform()`.
- Also, you can use `symbol(symbolTypeName: String)` to create a field named `symbol` with a lying in
the `org.jetbrains.kotlin.fir.symbols` package.
- Some predefined fields are listed in [`FieldSets.kt`](src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/fir/tree/generator/FieldSets.kt).
- If your node has some `transform...` methods, and you want to add methods for transforming all other children, you should call
`needTransformOtherChildren()`.
- If an element has type parameters, you should declare them using `withArg(typeParameterName: String, [upperBound: TypeRef])`.
- If an element inherits another element with type parameters, you should match those parameters with concrete types using
`parentArgs(parent: Element, typeParameterName: String, vararg arguments: Pair<String, TypeRef>)`.
- Note that if some element contains type parameters, it should be configured before its inheritors (will be fixed later).
# Implementations
- If an element has no inheritors, then it will have a default implementation. Otherwise, you should declare an implementation that you
want.
- All implementations are described in `ImplementationConfigurator.kt`
- Syntax:
- `impl(element: Element, [name: String]) {...}` describes the configuration of the element with name `name` (if there is no name,
then it would be `ElementTypeImpl`).
Lambda with implementation configuration is optional.
Note that this function returns an object of type `Implementation`.
- `noImpl(element: Element)` used when you don't want to generate any implementation for `element`/
- In the configuration lambda you can:
- Describe the kind of the implementation — `FinalClass` (default), `OpenClass`, `AbstractClass`, `Interface` using the syntax
`kind = Interface`
- Add parents for the implementation class
- syntax: `parents += parent`.
- `parent` can be only implementation with `kind = Interface`.
- Configure default values for fields:
- `default(fieldName: String) { ... }`
- in configuration lambda you can describe:
- `value = _defaultValue_`.
- `withGetter = true/false` (`false` by default).
- `delegate = delegateFieldName` (used for generating such fields: `val typeRef: FirTypeRef get() = expression.typeRef`).
- `delegateName = fieldNameInDelegateType` (`val expressionTypeRef: FirTypeRef get() = expression.typeRef`).
- `needAcceptAndTransform = true/false` (`true` by default) -- specify it if you don't want to accept field in
`acceptChildren`.
- `customSetter = setterExpresison`.
- note that by default, all fields with fir elements are mutable, and others are immutable.
- Also, there are some aliases for that default:
- `default(fieldName, value)`
- `defaultNull(fieldName, [withGetter: Boolean])`
- If some fields should be `lateinit`, you describe them in the `lateinit(vararg fields: String)` call.
- If you use some types that should be imported, list them by calling `additionalImports(vararg types: Importable)`
# Notes
- There is an algorithm that automatically makes as most abstract classes instead of interfaces as possible.
If you want to some `Element` or `Implementation` should be always an interface you should:
- call `shouldBeAnInterface()` when configuring a `Element` in `NodeConfigurator.kt`
- specify `kind = Interface` when configuring an `Implementation` in `ImplementationConfigurator.kt`
