InstanceMirror abstract class
An InstanceMirror reflects an instance of a Dart language object.

final bool hasReflectee #
Does reflectee contain the instance reflected by this mirror? This will always be true in the local case (reflecting instances in the same isolate), but only true in the remote case if this mirror reflects a simple value.
A value is simple if one of the following holds:
- the value is null
- the value is of type num
- the value is of type bool
- the value is of type String
bool get hasReflectee;
final MirrorSystem mirrors #
The MirrorSystem that contains this mirror.
MirrorSystem get mirrors;
final reflectee #
If the InstanceMirror reflects an instance it is meaningful to have a local reference to, we provide access to the actual instance here.
If you access reflectee when hasReflectee is false, an exception is thrown.
get reflectee;
final ClassMirror type #
A mirror on the type of the reflectee.

Methods
Future<InstanceMirror> getField(String fieldName) #
Invokes a getter and returns a mirror on the result. The getter can be the implicit getter for a field or a user-defined getter method.
TODO(turnidge): Handle ambiguous names.
Future<InstanceMirror> getField(String fieldName);
Future<InstanceMirror> invoke(String memberName, List<Object> positionalArguments, [Map<String, Object> namedArguments]) #
Invokes the named function and returns a mirror on the result.
TODO(turnidge): Properly document. TODO(turnidge): Handle ambiguous names. TODO(turnidge): Handle optional & named arguments.
Future<InstanceMirror> invoke(String memberName,
List<Object> positionalArguments,
[Map<String,Object> namedArguments]);
Future<InstanceMirror> setField(String fieldName, Object value) #
Invokes a setter and returns a mirror on the result. The setter may be either the implicit setter for a non-final field or a user-defined setter method.
TODO(turnidge): Handle ambiguous names.
Future<InstanceMirror> setField(String fieldName, Object value);
