Hi,
Glad to hear you find it useful! We're not using dataenum a lot internally, since it was mainly written for a usecase in Android development, and we've moved to Kotlin which has better support for ADTs than Java. So we're not going to prioritise adding features ourselves - but if you are up for it, feel free to create a PR adding asSafeX()
, I can help getting it merged and released.
Hi there, coming from languages with sum types, is such a punishment to use java. We actually wrote handmade ADTs like your library is generating. I really like how less you have to type and what is generated for you. :heart:
This library already generates the
isX(): Boolean
andasX(): X
we added in our hand wrote code a
asSafeX(): Optional<X>
method. This is more typesafe and could actually replace both methodsisX()
isasSafeX().isPresent()
andasX()
isasSafeX().get()
but you could also do typesafe stuff like
asSafeX().map(x=>2*x).orElse(42)
Can you image to add this method?
Cheers Thomas
