## Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant
Description
`MANDATED`
The dependence was implicitly declared in the source of the module declaration.
`STATIC`
The dependence is mandatory in the static phase, during compilation, but is optional in the dynamic phase, during execution.
`SYNTHETIC`
The dependence was not explicitly or implicitly declared in the source of the module declaration.
`TRANSITIVE`
The dependence causes any module which depends on the current module to have an implicitly declared dependence on the module named by the `Requires`.

## Method Details

### values

public static ModuleDescriptor.Requires.Modifier[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:
  an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

public static ModuleDescriptor.Requires.Modifier valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
