What exactly does @ Builder annotation do? I need to deliver JUnit tests (it's my first contact with tests) of a really small challenge project, but without using Lombok and I'm not finding tutorials that don't use @ Builder to do them. Thanks in advance.
ps: english it's not my first language, sorry
edit: thank you all very much for the help, I managed to solve the problem through the documentation and some videos
This is how you use @Builder.
//Employee.Java
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.ToString;
@Builder
@ToString
public class Employee {
private final String empName;
private final int salary;
}
// Main.java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Employee emp = Employee.builder().empName("Deendaya").salary(100).build();
System.out.println(emp);
}
}
Using @Builder on method to create a Dog and Cat instance.
In this example @Value creates a final immutable value object with accessor methods (getters), an all args constructor, equals(), hashCode() and toString().
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Value;
import org.junit.Test;
@SuppressWarnings("javadoc")
public class ImmutableAnimals {
@Builder(builderMethodName = "dogBuilder")
public static Dog newDog(String color, String barkSound) {
return new Dog(color, barkSound);
}
@Builder(builderMethodName = "catBuilder")
public static Cat newCat(String color, String meowSound) {
return new Cat(color, meowSound);
}
public static interface Animal {
String getColor();
}
@Value
public static class Cat implements Animal {
String color;
String meowSound;
}
@Value
public static class Dog implements Animal {
String color;
String barkSound;
}
@Test
public void testDog() {
final String expectedBarkSound = "woof";
final String expectedColor = "brown";
final Dog dog = ImmutableAnimals.dogBuilder()
.barkSound(expectedBarkSound)
.color(expectedColor)
.build();
assertEquals(expectedBarkSound, dog.getBarkSound());
assertEquals(expectedColor, dog.getColor());
}
@Test
public void testCat() {
final String expectedMeowSound = "purr";
final String expectedColor = "white";
final Cat cat = ImmutableAnimals.catBuilder()
.meowSound(expectedMeowSound)
.color(expectedColor)
.build();
assertEquals(expectedMeowSound, cat.getMeowSound());
assertEquals(expectedColor, cat.getColor());
}
}
Here's another example with the same domain classes but using mutable values. However, as always favor immutability whenever possible.
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import org.junit.Test;
@SuppressWarnings("javadoc")
public class MutableAnimals {
@Builder(builderMethodName = "dogBuilder")
public static Dog newDog(String color, String barkSound) {
final Dog dog = new Dog();
dog.setBarkSound(barkSound);
dog.setColor(color);
return dog;
}
@Builder(builderMethodName = "catBuilder")
public static Cat newCat(String color, String meowSound) {
final Cat cat = new Cat();
cat.setMeowSound(meowSound);
cat.setColor(color);
return cat;
}
public static interface Animal {
String getColor();
}
@Data
public static class Cat implements Animal {
String color;
String meowSound;
}
@Data
public static class Dog implements Animal {
String color;
String barkSound;
}
@Test
public void testDog() {
final String expectedBarkSound = "woof";
final String expectedColor = "brown";
final Dog dog = MutableAnimals.dogBuilder()
.barkSound(expectedBarkSound)
.color(expectedColor)
.build();
assertEquals(expectedBarkSound, dog.getBarkSound());
assertEquals(expectedColor, dog.getColor());
}
@Test
public void testCat() {
final String expectedMeowSound = "purr";
final String expectedColor = "white";
final Cat cat = MutableAnimals.catBuilder()
.meowSound(expectedMeowSound)
.color(expectedColor)
.build();
assertEquals(expectedMeowSound, cat.getMeowSound());
assertEquals(expectedColor, cat.getColor());
}
}
Try by Book b = new Book.builder() .id(id).name(name).author("author of " + title).build();
May be you are trying to use title, which you haven't defined.
Your fields are:
private Long id
private String name
private String author
and in your builder constructor you put Book.Builder().title(title), the title is missing in the Book entity, a part "builder()" has to start with lowercase.
EDIT:
Ok, then you can remove @AllArgsConstructor, @NoArgsConstructor, @RequiredArgsConstructor and test it.
As per suggestion by @f1sh - If you use mvn package, this should work. But to get it to work in your IDE (which is probably where you get this error), you need to install lombok into eclipse: projectlombok.org/setup/eclipse
Installing the Lombok plugin in our IDE is necessary in order to use any annotations from Lombok. I sincerely hope it works for you. and You won't run into any issues.
