Lombok est la façon la plus simple de le faire ! (Il dispose d'un plugin Intellij pour le support syntaxique. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6317-lombok-plugin )
Il suffit d'ajouter un @Builder
et derrière les murs, il ajoutera une implémentation du constructeur à l'intérieur de l'objet.
Avec Lombok :
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Singular;
import java.util.Set;
@Builder
public class BuilderExample {
@Builder.Default private long created = System.currentTimeMillis();
private String name;
private int age;
@Singular private Set<String> occupations;
}
Sans Lombok :
import java.util.Set;
public class BuilderExample {
private long created;
private String name;
private int age;
private Set<String> occupations;
BuilderExample(String name, int age, Set<String> occupations) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.occupations = occupations;
}
private static long $default$created() {
return System.currentTimeMillis();
}
public static BuilderExampleBuilder builder() {
return new BuilderExampleBuilder();
}
public static class BuilderExampleBuilder {
private long created;
private boolean created$set;
private String name;
private int age;
private java.util.ArrayList<String> occupations;
BuilderExampleBuilder() {
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder created(long created) {
this.created = created;
this.created$set = true;
return this;
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder name(String name) {
this.name = name;
return this;
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder age(int age) {
this.age = age;
return this;
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder occupation(String occupation) {
if (this.occupations == null) {
this.occupations = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
}
this.occupations.add(occupation);
return this;
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder occupations(Collection<? extends String> occupations) {
if (this.occupations == null) {
this.occupations = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
}
this.occupations.addAll(occupations);
return this;
}
public BuilderExampleBuilder clearOccupations() {
if (this.occupations != null) {
this.occupations.clear();
}
return this;
}
public BuilderExample build() {
// complicated switch statement to produce a compact properly sized immutable set omitted.
Set<String> occupations = ...;
return new BuilderExample(created$set ? created : BuilderExample.$default$created(), name, age, occupations);
}
@java.lang.Override
public String toString() {
return "BuilderExample.BuilderExampleBuilder(created = " + this.created + ", name = " + this.name + ", age = " + this.age + ", occupations = " + this.occupations + ")";
}
}
}
