Method class abstract

Provides reflective access to class method metadata and invocation capabilities.

This interface enables runtime inspection and invocation of class methods, including access to:

• Method signatures and return types
• Parameter metadata
• Modifiers (static, abstract, etc.)
• Type parameters
• Override information

{@template method_interface_features}

Key Features

• Type-safe method invocation
• Full signature inspection
• Parameter metadata access
• Override hierarchy navigation
• Generic type support

Implementation Notes

Concrete implementations typically wrap platform-specific reflection objects while providing this uniform interface.

Example Usage

// Get method metadata
final toStringMethod = objectClass.getMethod('toString');

// Inspect method properties
print('Return type: ${toStringMethod.getReturnType<String>().getName()}');

// Invoke the method
final result = toStringMethod.invoke(myObject);
print('Result: $result');

// Check override status
if (toStringMethod.isOverride()) {
  print('This overrides a superclass method');
}
