MooseObject

The MooseObject is the top level base class for all non-action MOOSE objects (such as Kernels, Materials, Postprocessors, etc.).

This class holds the main convenience functions, such as

• getParam<T>(param) template as a shortcut to parameters().get<T>(param) to get an input parameter param of type T

• isParamValid(param) to check if the input parameter param has a value that can be obtained with getParam

• getMooseApp() to get a reference to the MooseApp this object is associated with

• type() to get the registered class object name of the current object

• name() to get the name the object appears under in the input file

• parameters() to get a reference to the InputParameters of the current object

• paramError, paramWarning, and paramInfo to output status messages regarding specific parameters that are annotated with the input file location of the parameter

  template <typename T1, typename T2>
  std::vector<std::pair<T1, T2>> getParam(const std::string & param1,
                                          const std::string & param2) const;
