Class: Node
A node is a node name, followed by zero or more arguments and/or properties, and children
Constructors
new Node()
new Node(
name,entries?,children?):Node

Methods
addArgument()
addArgument(
value,tag?,index?):void
Add the given value as argument to this node
The argument is added at the given index, or at the end.
This index counts towards the arguments only, i.e. if the node has five
entries, three of which are arguments then inserting an argument between
the second and third can be achieved by passing 2 regardless of the
whether properties and arguments are interspersed or not.
Parameters
• value: null | string | number | boolean
The value to insert as argument
• tag?: null | string
The tag to attach to the argument, if any
• index?: number
The index
Returns
void
Defined in
appendNode()
appendNode(
node):void
Add the given node at the end of this node's children
Parameters
Returns
void
Defined in
clone()
clone():
Node
Create an identical copy of this node
Returns
Defined in
deleteProperty()
deleteProperty(
name):void
Delete the property with the given name
Parameters
• name: string
Returns
void
Defined in
findNodeByName()
findNodeByName(
name):undefined|Node
Return the last node in this node's children with the given name
This function returns the last node instead of first to be in line with how properties are defined in the KDL specification where the last property with the given name is used and the rest is shadowed.
Parameters
• name: string
Returns
undefined | Node
Defined in
findNodesByName()
findNodesByName(
name):Node[]
Return all nodes with the given node name
Changes to the returned array are not reflected back onto this document itself, and updates to the document won't reflect in the returned array.
Parameters
• name: string
Returns
Node[]
Defined in
findParameterizedNode()
findParameterizedNode(
name,parameter?):undefined|Node
Return the last node in this node's children with the given name, matching the parameter
If the parameter is undefined, this method looks for a node with any single
arguments. If a parameter is passed, this method looks for a node with
a single parameter, equal to the given parameter.
Parameters
• name: string
• parameter?: null | string | number | boolean
Returns
undefined | Node
Defined in
getArgument()
getArgument(
index):undefined|null|string|number|boolean
Return the argument at the given index, if present
This index counts towards the arguments only, i.e. if the node has five
entries, three of which are arguments then passing 1 returns the second
argument, regardless of the whether properties and arguments are
interspersed or not.
Parameters
• index: number
Returns
undefined | null | string | number | boolean
Defined in
getArgumentEntries()
getArgumentEntries():
Entry[]
Return a snapshot of all arguments of this node
Changes to the returned array are not reflected back onto this node itself, and updates to the node won't reflect in the returned array.
Returns
Entry[]
Defined in
getArgumentEntry()
getArgumentEntry(
index):undefined|Entry
Return the argument entry at the given index, if present
This index counts towards the arguments only, i.e. if the node has five
entries, three of which are arguments then passing 1 returns the second
argument, regardless of the whether properties and arguments are
interspersed or not.
Parameters
• index: number
Returns
undefined | Entry
Defined in
getArguments()
getArguments(): (
null|string|number|boolean)[]
Return a snapshot of all arguments of this node
Changes to the returned array are not reflected back onto this node itself, and updates to the node won't reflect in the returned array.
Returns
(null | string | number | boolean)[]
Defined in
getName()
getName():
string
Return the name of this node
Returns
string
Defined in
getProperties()
getProperties():
Map<string,null|string|number|boolean>
Return a snapshot of all properties of this node
Changes to the returned object are not reflected back onto this node itself, and updates to the node won't reflect in the returned object.
Returns
Map<string, null | string | number | boolean>
Defined in
getProperty()
getProperty(
name):undefined|null|string|number|boolean
Return the value of the property with the given name, or undefined if it doesn't exist.
Parameters
