Class LateBuilder<T,B extends LateBuilder<T,B>>

java.lang.Object
de.team33.patterns.building.anthe.SelfReferring<B>
de.team33.patterns.building.elara.BuilderBase<B>
de.team33.patterns.building.elara.LateBuilder<T,B>
Type Parameters:
T - The target type: an instance of that type is finally built. That type is expected to be mutable.
B - The builder type: the intended effective type of the concrete builder implementation.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Setup<T,B>
public class LateBuilder<T,B extends LateBuilder<T,B>> extends BuilderBase<B> implements Setup<T,B>
Serves as a base class for builder implementations <B> and as such provides a model that separates basic builder concepts from the actual target data model <T>.

This implementation can be used as a base if instances of a target type are to be built that is itself mutable but does not itself implement a builder pattern. The builder initially only collects the modifying operations and only applies them to a newly created target instance with build().

      protected LateBuilder(Supplier<? extends T> newResult, Class<B> builderClass)
      Initializes a new instance.
      Parameters:
      newResult - A Supplier method to retrieve a new instance of the result type.
      builderClass - The Class representation of the intended effective builder type.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the given builder class does not represent this instance.

    • setup

      public final B setup(Consumer<? super T> consumer)
      Accepts a Consumer as modifying operation to be performed on a target instance immediately or no later than the final build() operation and returns the builder instance itself.

      This implementation stores the given consumer in order to apply it to a newly created target during build().

      Specified by:
      setup in interface Setup<T,B extends LateBuilder<T,B>>

    • build

      public final T build()
      Returns the build result.
