Invokable (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 19.0-rc3 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject
- - com.google.common.reflect.Invokable<T,R>

Type Parameters:
T - the type that owns this method or constructor.
R - the return type of (or supertype thereof) the method or the declaring type of the constructor.

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotatedElement, GenericDeclaration, Member
```
@Beta
public abstract class Invokable<T,R>
extends AccessibleObject
implements GenericDeclaration
```
Wrapper around either a Method or a Constructor. Convenience API is provided to make common reflective operation easier to deal with, such as isPublic(), getParameters() etc.
In addition to convenience methods, TypeToken.method(java.lang.reflect.Method) and TypeToken.constructor(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<?>) will resolve the type parameters of the method or constructor in the context of the owner type, which may be a subtype of the declaring class. For example:
```
   Method getMethod = List.class.getMethod("get", int.class);
   Invokable<List<String>, ?> invokable = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.method(getMethod);
   assertEquals(TypeToken.of(String.class), invokable.getReturnType()); // Not Object.class!
   assertEquals(new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}, invokable.getOwnerType());
```

14.0

- Method Detail
  - from
```
public static Invokable<?,Object> from(Method method)
```
    Returns Invokable of method.
  - from
```
public static <T> Invokable<T,T> from(Constructor<T> constructor)
```
    Returns Invokable of constructor.
  - isOverridable
```
public abstract boolean isOverridable()
```
    Returns true if this is an overridable method. Constructors, private, static or final methods, or methods declared by final classes are not overridable.
  - isVarArgs
```
public abstract boolean isVarArgs()
```
    Returns true if this was declared to take a variable number of arguments.
  - invoke
```
public final R invoke(@Nullable
       T receiver,
       Object... args)
               throws InvocationTargetException,
                      IllegalAccessException
```
    Invokes with receiver as 'this' and args passed to the underlying method and returns the return value; or calls the underlying constructor with args and returns the constructed instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalAccessException - if this Constructor object enforces Java language access control and the underlying method or constructor is inaccessible.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion.
    
    InvocationTargetException - if the underlying method or constructor throws an exception.
  - getReturnType
```
public final TypeToken<? extends R> getReturnType()
```
    Returns the return type of this Invokable.
  - getParameters
```
public final ImmutableList<Parameter> getParameters()
```
    Returns all declared parameters of this Invokable. Note that if this is a constructor of a non-static inner class, unlike Constructor.getParameterTypes(), the hidden this parameter of the enclosing class is excluded from the returned parameters.
  - getExceptionTypes
```
public final ImmutableList<TypeToken<? extends Throwable>> getExceptionTypes()

```
   Method factoryMethod = Person.class.getMethod("create");
   Invokable<?, Person> factory = Invokable.of(getNameMethod).returning(Person.class);
```
  - returning
