Kind represents a particular position of the parameter declaration in the source code, such as an instance, an extension receiver parameter or a value parameter.

enum class Kind

0-based index of this parameter in the parameter list of its containing callable.

abstract val index: Int

true if this parameter is optional and can be omitted when making a call via KCallable.callBy, or false otherwise.

abstract val isOptional: Boolean

true if this parameter is vararg. See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.

abstract val isVararg: Boolean

Kind of this parameter.

abstract val kind: Kind

Name of this parameter as it was declared in the source code, or null if the parameter has no name or its name is not available at runtime. Examples of nameless parameters include this instance for member functions, extension receiver for extension functions or properties, parameters of Java methods compiled without the debug information, and others.

abstract val name: String?

Type of this parameter. For a vararg parameter, this is the type of the corresponding array, not the individual element.

abstract val type: KType

Annotations which are present on this element.

abstract val annotations: List<Annotation>

Returns an annotation of the given type on this element.

fun <T : Annotation> KAnnotatedElement.findAnnotation(): T?

Returns true if this element is annotated with an annotation of type T.

fun <T : Annotation> KAnnotatedElement.hasAnnotation(): Boolean
