This section describes introspection of EdgeDB operators. Much like functions, operators have parameters and return types as well as a few other features.
Introspection of the schema::Operator:
db> ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
with module schema
select ObjectType {
name,
links: {
name,
},
properties: {
name,
}
}
filter .name = 'schema::Operator';{
Object {
name: 'schema::Operator',
links: {
Object { name: '__type__' },
Object { name: 'annotations' },
Object { name: 'params' },
Object { name: 'return_type' }
},
properties: {
Object { name: 'id' },
Object { name: 'name' },
Object { name: 'operator_kind' },
Object { name: 'return_typemod' }
}
}
}Since params are quite important to operators, here’s their structure:
db> ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
with module schema
select ObjectType {
name,
links: {
name,
},
properties: {
name,
}
}
filter .name = 'schema::Parameter';{
Object {
name: 'schema::Parameter',
links: {
Object { name: '__type__' },
Object { name: 'type' }
},
properties: {
Object { name: 'default' },
Object { name: 'id' },
Object { name: 'kind' },
Object { name: 'name' },
Object { name: 'num' },
Object { name: 'typemod' }
}
}
}Introspection of the and operator:
db> ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
with module schema
select Operator {
name,
operator_kind,
annotations: { name, @value },
params: {
kind,
name,
num,
typemod,
type: { name },
default,
},
return_typemod,
return_type: { name },
}
filter .name = 'std::AND';{
Object {
name: 'std::AND',
operator_kind: 'Infix',
annotations: {},
params: {
Object {
kind: 'PositionalParam',
name: 'a',
num: 0,
typemod: 'SingletonType',
type: Object { name: 'std::bool' },
default: {}
},
Object {
kind: 'PositionalParam',
name: 'b',
num: 1,
typemod: 'SingletonType',
type: Object { name: 'std::bool' },
default: {}
}
},
return_typemod: 'SingletonType',
return_type: Object { name: 'std::bool' }
}
}
