# WeakTypeTag

#### trait WeakTypeTag[T] extends Equals with Serializable

If an implicit value of type `WeakTypeTag[T]` is required, the compiler will create one, and the reflective representation of `T` can be accessed via the `tpe` field. Components of `T` can be references to type parameters or abstract types. Note that `WeakTypeTag` makes an effort to be as concrete as possible, i.e. if `TypeTag`s are available for the referenced type arguments or abstract types, they are used to embed the concrete types into the WeakTypeTag. Otherwise the WeakTypeTag will contain a reference to an abstract type. This behavior can be useful, when one expects `T` to be perhaps be partially abstract, but requires special care to handle this case. However, if `T` is expected to be fully known, use scala.reflect.api.TypeTags#TypeTag instead, which statically guarantees this property.

For more information about `TypeTag`s, see the Reflection Guide: TypeTags

### Abstract Value Members

1. #### abstract def in[U <: Universe with Singleton](otherMirror: Mirror[U]): in.U.WeakTypeTag[T]

   Migrates the expression into another mirror, jumping into a different universe if necessary.

   Migrates the expression into another mirror, jumping into a different universe if necessary.

   Migration means that all symbolic references to classes/objects/packages in the expression will be re-resolved within the new mirror (typically using that mirror's classloader).

2. #### abstract val mirror: Universe.Mirror

   The underlying `Mirror` of this type tag.

3. #### abstract def tpe: Universe.Type

   Reflective representation of type T.
