Provide an easy way to generate DeepCopy function for data class. DeepCopy only takes effect on the component members i.e. the members declared in the primary constructor.
Use Kotlin Reflection to provide an extension function for DeepCopyable so that any data class which implements DeepCopyable can simply call deepCopy() to copy itsself.
See the test code below:
data class Speaker(val name: String, val age: Int): DeepCopyable
data class Talk(val name: String, val speaker: Speaker): DeepCopyable
class DeepCopyTest {
@Test
fun test() {
val talk = Talk("DataClass in Action", Speaker("Benny Huo", 30))
val newTalk = talk.deepCopy()
assert(talk == newTalk)
assert(talk !== newTalk)
}
}talk equals newTalk since the values of their members are equal while they do not ref to the same object.
This library has been deloyed to maven center.
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-reflect:<latest-version>")If you concern about the runtime efficiency, apt may be the solution. You can simply annotate the data class you want to deep copy with a DeepCopy annotation:
@DeepCopy
data class Speaker(val name: String, val age: Int)
@DeepCopy
data class Talk(val name: String, val speaker: Speaker)Extension function deepCopy will be generated according to the components:
fun Talk.deepCopy(name: String = this.name, speaker: Speaker = this.speaker): Talk = Talk(name, speaker.deepCopy())
fun Speaker.deepCopy(
name: String = this.name,
age: Int = this.age,
company: Company = this.company
): Speaker = Speaker(name, age, company.deepCopy()) Notice that deepCopy is called recursively if the member type is also a data class annotated with a DeepCopy annotation. Hence, if you remove the annotation for Speaker, generated function would be like:
fun Talk.deepCopy(name: String = this.name, speaker: Speaker = this.speaker): Talk = Talk(name, speaker)
//And no deepCopy for Speaker.The artifacts have been deployed to maven central repository. Set up your project by adding these lines:
plugins {
id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.9.20-1.0.14" // ksp
id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt" // kapt
}
...
dependencies {
ksp("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-compiler-ksp:<latest-version>")) // ksp
kapt("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-compiler-kapt:<latest-version>") // kapt
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-runtime:<latest-version>")
}This is a nearly perfect version I think. It works like copy does. You can install this IntelliJ plugin: DeepCopy and setup your project like this:
plugins {
kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.20"
id("com.bennyhuo.kotlin.plugin.deepcopy") version "<latest-version>"
}
dependencies {
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-runtime:<latest-version>")
}And then try to call the deepCopy function directly!
