Class CommonProperties

java.lang.Object
org.klojang.check.CommonProperties
public class CommonProperties extends Object
Defines various functions that can optionally be passed as the first argument to the has(...) and notHas(...) methods of IntCheck and ObjectCheck. These functions are associated with a description of the property they expose, so generating an error message requires very little hand-crafting. For example: 

 Check.that(car, "car").has(strval(), equalTo(), "BMW");
 // Error message: "car.toString() must be equal to BMW (was Toyota)"

Note that the word "property" is suggestive, but also misleading. The functions defined here really are just that: functions that transform the argument into some other value, which can then be subjected to further tests. 


 Check.that(temperature, "temperature").has(abs(), lt(), 20);
 // Error message: "abs(temperature) must be < 20 (was -39)"

As with the checks in the CommonChecks class, none of the functions defined here execute a preliminary null check. Many of them simply return a method reference. They rely upon being embedded in chain of checks, the first of which should be the notNull check (if necessary).

  • Method Details

    • box

      public static IntFunction<Integer> box()
      Returns the boxed version of the argument. Equivalent to Integer::valueOf. This "property" is especially useful to get access to the many Relation checks in the CommonChecks class when validating an int argument: 
      
 // WON'T COMPILE! IntCheck does not have method is(Relation, Object)
 Check.that(42).is(keyIn(), map);

 // OK. ObjectCheck does have method is(Relation, Object)
 Check.that((Integer) 42).is(keyIn(), map);

 // More idiomatic:
 Check.that(42).has(box(), keyIn(), map);
      Returns:
      The boxed version of the argument

    • unbox

      public static ToIntFunction<Integer> unbox()
      Returns the unboxed version of the argument. Equivalent to Integer::intValue.
