getAllMacroMetadata
@NonNull Set<MacroMetadata> getAllMacroMetadata()Retrieve all available metadata for macros in the system.- Since:
- 4.0

getAllMacroSummaries
@NonNull Set<MacroSummary> getAllMacroSummaries()Return summaries of all macros in the system. -
getMacroMetadataByName
Retrieve the metadata for a single macro. This may not be very efficient internally.- Parameters:
macroName
- the (simple, unfriendly) name of the macro, as will be returned byMacroMetadata.getMacroName()
orMacroDefinition.getName()
.- Since:
- 4.0
-
getMacroMetadataByNameAndId
Retrieve the metadata for a single macro. This may not be very efficient internally.- Parameters:
macroName
- the (simple, unfriendly) name of the macro, as will be returned byMacroMetadata.getMacroName()
orMacroDefinition.getName()
.alternateId
- additional identification for macros where the macroName is not sufficient. This will be ignored, if null.- Since:
- 5.5
-
getParameterTypes
Retrieve the parameter type information for a single macro.- Parameters:
macroName
- the name of the macro, as will be returned byMacroMetadata.getMacroName()
orMacroDefinition.getName()
.- Returns:
- A map consisting of the parameter name and its corresponding type.
- Since:
- 5.2
-
getParameters
Retrieve the parameter information for a single macro.- Parameters:
macroName
- the name of the macro, as will be returned byMacroMetadata.getMacroName()
orMacroDefinition.getName()
