Class TypeReference<T>

java.lang.Object
is.codion.common.utilities.TypeReference<T>
Type Parameters:
T - the type represented by this type reference.
public abstract class TypeReference<T> extends Object
A basic TypeReference implementation, capturing a generic type via an anonymous subclass: 
 TypeReference<List<String>> reference = new TypeReference<>() {};

The captured type T must itself be a parameterized type; for plain classes use the available Class<T> based overloads instead. A non-parameterized T (e.g. new TypeReference<String>() {}) throws IllegalArgumentException.
