    • putFormatter

      public CodeWriter putFormatter(char identifier, BiFunction<Object,String,String> formatFunction)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Adds a custom formatter expression to the current state of the AbstractCodeWriter.

      The provided identifier string must match the following ABNF:

       %x21-23    ; ( '!' - '#' )
       / %x25-2F  ; ( '%' - '/' )
       / %x3A-60  ; ( ':' - '`' )

      Overrides:
      putFormatter in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      identifier - Formatter identifier to associate with this formatter.
      formatFunction - Formatter function that formats the given object as a String. The formatter is give the value to format as an object (use .toString to access the string contents) and the current indentation string of the AbstractCodeWriter.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • setExpressionStart

      public CodeWriter setExpressionStart(char expressionStart)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Sets the character used to start expressions in the current state when calling AbstractCodeWriter.write(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object...), AbstractCodeWriter.writeInline(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object...), AbstractCodeWriter.openBlock(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...), etc.

      By default, $ is used to start expressions (for example $L. However, some programming languages frequently give syntactic meaning to $, making this an inconvenient syntactic character for the AbstractCodeWriter. In these cases, the character used to start a AbstractCodeWriter expression can be changed. Just like $, the custom start character can be escaped using two subsequent start characters (e.g., $$).

      Overrides:
      setExpressionStart in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      expressionStart - Character to use to start expressions.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • pushState

      public CodeWriter pushState()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Copies and pushes the current state to the state stack.

      This method is used to prepare for a corresponding AbstractCodeWriter.popState() operation later. It stores the current state of the AbstractCodeWriter into a stack and keeps it active. After pushing, mutations can be made to the state of the AbstractCodeWriter without affecting the previous state on the stack. Changes to the state of the AbstractCodeWriter can be undone by using AbstractCodeWriter.popState(), which Returns self state to the state it was in before calling pushState.

      Overrides:
      pushState in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Returns:
      Returns the code writer.
    • pushState

      public CodeWriter pushState(String sectionName)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Copies and pushes the current state to the state stack using a named state that can be intercepted by functions registered with AbstractCodeWriter.onSection(CodeInterceptor).

      The text written while in this state is buffered and passed to each state interceptor. If no text is written by the section or an interceptor, nothing is changed on the AbstractCodeWriter. This behavior allows for placeholder sections to be added into AbstractCodeWriter generators in order to provide extension points that can be otherwise empty.

      Overrides:
      pushState in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      sectionName - Name of the section to set on the state.
      Returns:
      Returns the code writer.
    • pushFilteredState

      public CodeWriter pushFilteredState(Function<String,String> filter)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Pushes an anonymous named state that is always passed through the given filter function before being written to the writer.
      Overrides:
      pushFilteredState in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      filter - Function that maps over the entire section when popped.
      Returns:
      Returns the code writer.
    • popState

      public CodeWriter popState()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Pops the current AbstractCodeWriter state from the state stack.

      This method is used to reverse a previous AbstractCodeWriter.pushState() operation. It configures the current AbstractCodeWriter state to what it was before the last preceding pushState call.

      Overrides:
      popState in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • onSection

      public CodeWriter onSection(String sectionName, Consumer<Object> interceptor)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Registers a function that intercepts the contents of a section and writes to the AbstractCodeWriter with the updated contents.

      The interceptor function is expected to have a reference to the AbstractCodeWriter and to mutate it when they are invoked. Each interceptor is invoked in their own isolated pushed/popped states.

      The text provided to interceptor does not contain a trailing new line. A trailing new line is expected to be injected automatically when the results of intercepting the contents are written to the AbstractCodeWriter. A result is only written if the interceptors write a non-null, non-empty string, allowing for empty placeholders to be added that don't affect the resulting layout of the code.

      
       SimpleCodeWriter = new SimpleCodeWriter();
      
       // Prepend text to a section named "foo".
       writer.onSectionPrepend("foo", () -> writer.write("A"));
      
       // Write text to a section, and ensure that the original
       // text is written too.
       writer.onSection("foo", text -> {
           // Write before the original text.
           writer.write("A");
           // Write the original text of the section.
           writer.writeWithNoFormatting(text);
           // Write more text to the section.
           writer.write("C");
       });
      
       // Create the section, write to it, then close the section.
       writer.pushState("foo").write("B").popState();
      
       assert(writer.toString().equals("A\nB\nC\n"));
       

      Newline handling

      This method is a wrapper around AbstractCodeWriter.onSection(CodeInterceptor) that has several limitations:

      The newline handling functionality provided by this method can be reproduced using a CodeInterceptor by removing trailing newlines using AbstractCodeWriter.removeTrailingNewline(String).

      
       SimpleCodeWriter = new SimpleCodeWriter();
      
       CodeInterceptor<CodeSection, SimpleCodeWriter> interceptor = CodeInterceptor.forName(sectionName, (w, p) -> {
           String trimmedContent = removeTrailingNewline(p);
           interceptor.accept(trimmedContent);
       })
      
       writer.onSection(interceptor);
       
      Overrides:
      onSection in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      sectionName - The name of the section to intercept.
      interceptor - The function to intercept with.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • disableNewlines

      public CodeWriter disableNewlines()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Disables the automatic appending of newlines in the current state.

      Methods like AbstractCodeWriter.write(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object...), AbstractCodeWriter.openBlock(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...), and AbstractCodeWriter.closeBlock(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) will not automatically append newlines when a state has this flag set.

      Overrides:
      disableNewlines in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • enableNewlines

      public CodeWriter enableNewlines()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Enables the automatic appending of newlines in the current state.

      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • setNewline

      public CodeWriter setNewline(String newline)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Sets the character used to represent newlines in the current state ("\n" is the default).

      When the provided string is empty (""), then newlines are disabled in the current state. This is exactly equivalent to calling AbstractCodeWriter.disableNewlines(), and does not actually change the newline character of the current state.

      Setting the newline character to a non-empty string implicitly enables newlines in the current state.

      Overrides:
      setNewline in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      newline - Newline character to use.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • setNewline

      public CodeWriter setNewline(char newline)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Sets the character used to represent newlines in the current state ("\n" is the default).

      This call also enables newlines in the current state by calling AbstractCodeWriter.enableNewlines().

      Overrides:
      setNewline in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      newline - Newline character to use.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • setIndentText

    • writeWithNoFormatting

      public CodeWriter writeWithNoFormatting(Object content)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Writes text to the AbstractCodeWriter and appends a newline.

      The provided text does not use any kind of expression formatting.

      Indentation and the newline prefix is only prepended if the writer's cursor is at the beginning of a newline.

      Stack trace comments are written along with the given content if AbstractCodeWriter.enableStackTraceComments(boolean) was called with true.

      Overrides:
      writeWithNoFormatting in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      content - Content to write.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • call

      public CodeWriter call(Runnable task)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Allows calling out to arbitrary code for things like looping or conditional writes without breaking method chaining.
      Overrides:
      call in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      task - Method to invoke.
      Returns:
      Returns this.
    • write

      public CodeWriter write(Object content, Object... args)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Writes text to the AbstractCodeWriter and appends a newline.

      The provided text is automatically formatted using variadic arguments.

      Indentation and the newline prefix is only prepended if the writer's cursor is at the beginning of a newline.

      If a subclass overrides this method, it should first perform formatting and then delegate to AbstractCodeWriter.writeWithNoFormatting(java.lang.Object) to perform the actual write.

      Overrides:
      write in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      content - Content to write.
      args - String arguments to use for formatting.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • writeInline

      public CodeWriter writeInline(Object content, Object... args)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Writes text to the AbstractCodeWriter without appending a newline.

      The provided text is automatically formatted using variadic arguments.

      Indentation and the newline prefix is only prepended if the writer's cursor is at the beginning of a newline.

      If newlines are present in the given string, each of those lines will receive proper indentation.

      If a subclass overrides this method, it should first perform formatting and then delegate to AbstractCodeWriter.writeInlineWithNoFormatting(java.lang.Object) to perform the actual write.

      Overrides:
      writeInline in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      content - Content to write.
      args - String arguments to use for formatting.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • ensureNewline

      public CodeWriter ensureNewline()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Ensures that the last text written to the writer was a newline as defined in the current state and inserts one if necessary.
      Overrides:
      ensureNewline in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • writeOptional

      public CodeWriter writeOptional(Object content)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Optionally writes text to the AbstractCodeWriter and appends a newline if a value is present.

      If the provided content value is null, nothing is written. If the provided content value is an empty Optional, nothing is written. If the result of calling toString on content results in an empty string, nothing is written. Finally, if the value is a non-empty string, the content is written to the AbstractCodeWriter at the current level of indentation, and a newline is appended.

      Overrides:
      writeOptional in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      content - Content to write if present.
      Returns:
      Returns self.
    • unwrite

      public CodeWriter unwrite(Object content, Object... args)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: AbstractCodeWriter
      Remove the most recent text written to the AbstractCodeWriter if and only if the last written text is exactly equal to the given expanded content string.

      This can be useful, for example, for use cases like removing trailing commas from lists of values.

      For example, the following will remove ", there." from the end of the AbstractCodeWriter:

      
       SimpleCodeWriter = new SimpleCodeWriter();
       writer.writeInline("Hello, there.");
       writer.unwrite(", there.");
       assert(writer.toString().equals("Hello\n"));
       

      However, the following call to unwrite will do nothing because the last text written to the AbstractCodeWriter does not match:

      
       SimpleCodeWriter = new SimpleCodeWriter();
       writer.writeInline("Hello.");
       writer.unwrite("there.");
       assert(writer.toString().equals("Hello.\n"));
       
      Overrides:
      unwrite in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      content - Content to write.
      args - String arguments to use for formatting.
      Returns:
      Returns self.

      Adds a named key-value pair to the context of the current state.

      These context values can be referenced by named interpolated parameters.

      Overrides:
      putContext in class AbstractCodeWriter<CodeWriter>
      Parameters:
      key - Key to add to the context.
      value - Value to associate with the key.
