Compiler plugin generates builder classes for data classes, allowing property manipulation similar to a map and constructing new instances. Supports reflection for third-party library integration.
This is a compiler plugin that generates a builder class for Kotlin data classes. You can get and put properties in the builder, similar to a Map, and finally build a new instance.
Currently, it supports Kotlin versions 1.8, 1.9 and 2.x.
plugins {
id("io.github.windedge.kopybuilder") version "$version"
}
Below is a table showing the compatibility between KopyBuilder versions and Kotlin versions:
For example, consider the following data class:
@KopyBuilder
data class User(
val name: String,
val email: String?
)
It will generate code like this:
You can use it as follows:
val user = User(...)
val builder = user.toCopyBuilder()
builder.apply {
put("name", ...)
put("email", ...)
}
val newUser = builder.build()
// Or build with copyBuild directly
val newUser = user.copyBuild {
put("name", ...)
}
You can even use it in a reflection way, making it possible to cooperate with 3rd party libraries:
import io.github.windedge.copybuilder.CopyBuilderHost
if (CopyBuilderHost::class.isInstance(user)) {
@Suppress("CAST_NEVER_SUCCEEDS")
val host = user as CopyBuilderHost<User>
val newUser = host.copyBuild {
put("name", "Max")
}
}
