- Method Detail
  - getVariableType
```
VariableType getVariableType(String typeName)
```
    Returns:
    
    the type for the given type name. Returns null if no type was found with the name.
  - findVariableType
```
VariableType findVariableType(Object value)
```
    Returns:
    
    the variable type to be used to store the given value as a variable.
    
    Throws:
    
    org.flowable.common.engine.api.FlowableException - When no available type is capable of storing the value.
  - addType
```
VariableTypes addType(VariableType type)
```
  - addTypeBefore
```
default VariableTypes addTypeBefore(VariableType type,
                                    String afterTypeName)
```
    Add the variable type before the type with the given name. When a type with the requested name is not registered then use addType(VariableType)
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the type to add
    
    afterTypeName - the name of the other type
  - addType
```
VariableTypes addType(VariableType type,
                      int index)
```
    Add type at the given index. The index is used when finding a type for an object. When different types can store a specific object value, the one with the smallest index will be used.
  - getTypeIndex
```
int getTypeIndex(VariableType type)
```
  - getTypeIndex
```
int getTypeIndex(String typeName)
```
  - removeType
```
VariableTypes removeType(VariableType type)
```
