Interface Formatter

All Superinterfaces:

Function<@Nullable Object,String>

All Known Subinterfaces:

DefaultFormatter, SpecFormatter

public interface Formatter
extends Function<@Nullable Object,String>

Formats and then sends the results to the downstream appender. Implementations should be singleton like and should not contain state. By default native types are passed straight through to the downstream appender. If this is not desired one can override those methods.

Important: the formatter does not decide what types are allowed at compile time to be formatted. To control what types are allowed to be formatted see JStacheFormatterTypes.

Implementing

An alternative to implementing this complicated interface is to simply make a Function<@Nullable Object, String> and call of(Function) to create a formatter.

To implement a custom formatter:

1. Implement this interface or use of(Function).
2. Register the custom formatter with JStacheFormatter.
3. Add additional allowed types with JStacheFormatterTypes on to the class that is annotated with JStacheFormatter
4. Set JStacheConfig.formatter() to the class that has the JStacheFormatter.

API Note

Although the formatter has access to the raw Output the formatter should never use it directly and simply pass it on to the downstream appender.

Method Details

apply

default String apply(@Nullable Object t)

Formats an object by using StringBuilder and calling format(Appender, Output, String, Class, Object).

Specified by:

apply in interface Function<@Nullable Object,String>

Parameters:

t - the object to be formatted. Maybe null.

Returns:

the formatted results as a String.

format

<A extends Output<E>,
E extends Exception> void format(Appender downstream,
 A a,
 String path,
 Class<?> c,
 @Nullable Object o)
                                               throws E

Formats the object and then sends the results to the downstream appender.

Type Parameters:

A - the appendable type

E - the appender exception type

Parameters:

downstream - the downstream appender to be used instead of the appendable directly

a - the appendable to be passed to the appender

path - the dotted mustache like path

c - the object class but is not guaranteed to be accurate. If it is not known Object.class will be used.

o - the object which maybe null

Throws:

E - if the appender or appendable throws an exception

API Note

Although the formatter has access to the raw Appendable the formatter should never use it directly and simply pass it on to the downstream appender.

of

static Formatter of(Function<@Nullable Object,String> formatterFunction)

Adapts a function to a formatter. If the function is already a formatter then it is simply returned (noop). Thus it is safe to repeatedly call this on formatters. If the function is adapted the returned adapted formatter does not pass native types to the inputted function.

Parameters:

formatterFunction - if it is already an escaper

Returns:

adapted formattter
