Mutator
Why Mutator?
As the immutable object becomes the default pattern of functional programming language, such as Value Object in Java, and Data Class in Kotlin, even the immutable pattern has a lot of advantages, modifying properties of deeply nested immutable objects is still not very convenient, for example:
data class Person(
val name: String,
val address: Address
)
data class Address(
val nation: Nation,
val state: String,
val street: String
)
data class Nation(
val name: String,
val code: String
)
If we want to modify the Person.address.nation.code, we have to write code like this:
val person = Person(...)
// ...
val clone = person.copy(
address = person.address.copy(
nation = person.address.nation.copy(
code = "New Code"
)
)
)
Getting Started
-
Add dependency into
build.gradleorbuild.gradle.ktsdependencies { implementation("io.johnsonlee:mutator:1.2.0") } -
Call the extension function
mutate(...)val clone = person.mutate(Person::address, Address::nation, Nation::code, "New Code")
The code above is equivalent to the following
val clone = person.copy( address = person.address.copy( nation = person.address.nation.copy( code = "New Code" ) ) )
