Timothy (Apr 05 2022 at 09:59): Timothy (Apr 05 2022 at 09:59):I'm trying to turn a type into its fully qualified name, as a string. I was hoping this would work "$(t.name.module).$(t.name.name)", but while for say t=IO or t=DataFrame it works, in other case such as t=Dict it doesn't.
Is there a good general solution for this?
Michael Hatherly (Apr 05 2022 at 10:02):"$(parentmodule(t)).$(nameof(t))" perhaps? Seems to at least cover Dict as well.
Sebastian Pfitzner (Apr 05 2022 at 10:03):otherwise, Base.unwrap_unionall first
Timothy (Apr 05 2022 at 10:03):That seems to work well, thanks! Are there any caveats I should be aware of with parentmodule / nameof ?
Timothy (Apr 05 2022 at 10:04):The documentation seems to indicate they unwrap unionall for us.
Sebastian Pfitzner (Apr 05 2022 at 10:04):yes
Sebastian Pfitzner (Apr 05 2022 at 10:04):those two are public API (I think) and should be used over manually accessing the type's internals
Timothy (Apr 05 2022 at 10:07):Looks like I'm sorted then.
