This module implements some reflection API's. It is supported in c, cpp, js backends.

Experimental API, subject to change.

Edit - see https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17641 for more info ~ Wazubaba This iwll be removed when nim gets this module natively, so all you'll have to do is remove pkg/basket/ and it ought to Just Work(tm) :D

Example:

# `getProcname`
proc fn1(a: int, b = 'x') =
  assert getProcname() == "fn1"
  static: assert getProcname(withType = true) == "fn1: proc (a: int; b: char)"
fn1(1)

iterator fn3[T](a: T): string =
  static: doAssert getProcname() == "fn3"
  yield getProcname(withType = true)

from std/sequtils import toSeq
assert toSeq(fn3(1.5)) == @["fn3: proc (a: float64): string"]

Example:

# `getExportcName`
from std/strutils import contains
proc fn1 =
  assert "fn1" in getExportcName() # implementation defined, e.g. `fn1_reflection95examples49_1`
fn1()

proc fn2: auto {.exportc.} = getExportcName()
assert fn2() == "fn2"

iterator fn3[T](a: T): string {.closure.} =
  yield getExportcName()

from std/sequtils import toSeq
let s1 = toSeq(fn3(1.5))[0]
let s2 = toSeq(fn3(1))[0]
assert "fn3" in s1
assert s2 != s1
