attributeReference

Matches references to attributes; that is, expressions with dot notation such as test.type.

This pattern only matches nodes of type expression.

Properties

attributeReference produces a record that contains the following properties:

Name	Type	Description
`primaryExpression`	`expression`	The base (the left-hand side) of the attribute reference expression
`propertyExpression`	`expression`	The accessed property (the right-hand side) of the attribute reference expression

Inherits properties from:

astnode
expression

Example

The following CodeXM pattern matches an attribute expression that accesses a property named foo:

    pattern fooAttribute {
        attributeReference {
            .primaryExpression == stringLiteral {
                .valueString == "foo"
            }
        }
    };
