  • Method Details

    • set

      void set(@Nullable Iterable<? extends T> elements)
      Sets the value of the property to the elements of the given iterable, and replaces any existing value. This property will query the elements of the iterable each time the value of this property is queried.

      This method can also be used to clear the value of the property, by passing null as the value.

      Parameters:
      elements - The elements, can be null.

    • set

      void set(Provider<? extends Iterable<? extends T>> provider)
      Sets the property to have the same value of the given provider, and replaces any existing value. This property will track the value of the provider and query its value each time the value of this property is queried. When the provider has no value, this property will also have no value.
      Parameters:
      provider - Provider of the elements.

    • empty

      HasMultipleValues<T> empty()
      Sets the value of this property to an empty collection, and replaces any existing value.
      Returns:
      this property.

    • add

      void add(T element)
      Adds an element to the property value.
      Parameters:
      element - The element

    • add

      void add(Provider<? extends T> provider)
      Adds an element to the property value.

      The given provider will be queried when the value of this property is queried. This property will have no value when the given provider has no value.

      Parameters:
      provider - The provider of an element

    • addAll

      void addAll(T... elements)
      Adds zero or more elements to the property value.
      Parameters:
      elements - The elements to add
      Since:
      4.10

    • addAll

      void addAll(Iterable<? extends T> elements)
      Adds zero or more elements to the property value.

      The given iterable will be queried when the value of this property is queried.

      Parameters:
      elements - The elements to add.
      Since:
      4.10

    • addAll

      void addAll(Provider<? extends Iterable<? extends T>> provider)
      Adds zero or more elements to the property value.

      The given provider will be queried when the value of this property is queried. This property will have no value when the given provider has no value.

      Parameters:
      provider - Provider of elements

    • convention

      HasMultipleValues<T> convention(Iterable<? extends T> elements)
      Specifies the value to use as the convention for this property. The convention is used when no value has been set for this property.
      Parameters:
      elements - The elements
      Returns:
      this
      Since:
      5.1

    • convention

      HasMultipleValues<T> convention(Provider<? extends Iterable<? extends T>> provider)
      Specifies the provider of the value to use as the convention for this property. The convention is used when no value has been set for this property.
      Parameters:
      provider - The provider of the elements
      Returns:
      this
      Since:
      5.1

    • finalizeValue

      void finalizeValue()
      Disallows further changes to the value of this property. Calls to methods that change the value of this property, such as set(Iterable) or add(Object) will fail.

      When this property has elements provided by a Provider, the value of the provider is queried when this method is called and the value of the provider will no longer be tracked.

      Note that although the value of the property will not change, the resulting collection may contain mutable objects. Calling this method does not guarantee that the value will become immutable.
