Methods
`public`	`getName(): string` Gets the fully-qualified class name of this persistent class. Gets the fully-qualified class name of this persistent class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getName()`	#
`public`	`getIdentifier(): array<int, string>` Gets the mapped identifier field name. Gets the mapped identifier field name. The returned structure is an array of the identifier field names. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getIdentifier()`	#
`public`	`getReflectionClass(): ReflectionClass<T>` Gets the ReflectionClass instance for this mapped class. Gets the ReflectionClass instance for this mapped class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getReflectionClass()`	#
`public`	`isIdentifier(string $fieldName): bool` Checks if the given field name is a mapped identifier for this class. Checks if the given field name is a mapped identifier for this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::isIdentifier()`	#
`public`	`hasField(string $fieldName): bool` Checks if the given field is a mapped property for this class. Checks if the given field is a mapped property for this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::hasField()`	#
`public`	`hasAssociation(string $fieldName): bool` Checks if the given field is a mapped association for this class. Checks if the given field is a mapped association for this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::hasAssociation()`	#
`public`	`isSingleValuedAssociation(string $fieldName): bool` Checks if the given field is a mapped single valued association for this class. Checks if the given field is a mapped single valued association for this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::isSingleValuedAssociation()`	#
`public`	`isCollectionValuedAssociation(string $fieldName): bool` Checks if the given field is a mapped collection valued association for this class. Checks if the given field is a mapped collection valued association for this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::isCollectionValuedAssociation()`	#
`public`	`getFieldNames(): array<int, string>` A numerically indexed list of field names of this persistent class. A numerically indexed list of field names of this persistent class. This array includes identifier fields if present on this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getFieldNames()`	#
`public`	`getIdentifierFieldNames(): array<int, string>` Returns an array of identifier field names numerically indexed. Returns an array of identifier field names numerically indexed. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getIdentifierFieldNames()`	#
`public`	`getAssociationNames(): array<int, string>` Returns a numerically indexed list of association names of this persistent class. Returns a numerically indexed list of association names of this persistent class. This array includes identifier associations if present on this class. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getAssociationNames()`	#
`public`	`getTypeOfField(string $fieldName): string\|null` Returns a type name of this field. Returns a type name of this field. This type names can be implementation specific but should at least include the php types: integer, string, boolean, float/double, datetime. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getTypeOfField()`	#
`public`	`getAssociationTargetClass(string $assocName): string\|null` Returns the target class name of the given association. Returns the target class name of the given association. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getAssociationTargetClass()`	#
`public`	`isAssociationInverseSide(string $assocName): bool` Checks if the association is the inverse side of a bidirectional association. Checks if the association is the inverse side of a bidirectional association. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::isAssociationInverseSide()`	#
`public`	`getAssociationMappedByTargetField(string $assocName): string` Returns the target field of the owning side of the association. Returns the target field of the owning side of the association. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getAssociationMappedByTargetField()`	#
`public`	`getIdentifierValues(object $object): array<string, mixed>` Returns the identifier of this object as an array with field name as key. Returns the identifier of this object as an array with field name as key. Has to return an empty array if no identifier isset. Implemented by `Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::getIdentifierValues()`	#
