as()

template<typename T >

T * MayaFlux::Nodes::NodeContext::as ( )

inline

Safely cast to a derived context type.

Template Parameters

T	The derived context type to cast to

Returns

Pointer to the derived context or nullptr if types don't match

Provides type-safe access to derived context classes. If the requested type matches the actual type of this context, returns a properly cast pointer. Otherwise, returns nullptr to prevent unsafe access.

Example:

if (auto filter_ctx = ctx.as<FilterContext>()) {
    // Access filter-specific context members
    double gain = filter_ctx->gain;
}
