@Incubating public interface MapProperty<K,V> extends Provider<Map<K,V>>
Represents a property whose type is a Map of keys of type K and values of type V. Retains iteration order.

You can create a MapProperty instance using factory method ObjectFactory.mapProperty(Class, Class).

  • Method Details

    • empty

      MapProperty<K,V> empty()
      Sets the value of this property to an empty map, and replaces any existing value.
      Returns:
      this property.

    • getting

      Provider<V> getting(K key)
      Returns a provider that resolves to the value of the mapping of the given key. It will have no value if the property has no value, or if it does not contain a mapping for the key.

      The returned provider will track the value of this property and query its value when it is queried.

      This method is equivalent to 

          map(m -> m.get(key))
      but possibly more efficient.
      Parameters:
      key - the key
      Returns:
      a Provider for the value

    • set

      void set(@Nullable Map<? extends K, ? extends V> entries)
      Sets the value of this property to the entries of the given Map, and replaces any existing value. This property will query the entries of the map 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:
      entries - the entries, can be null

    • set

      void set(Provider<? extends Map<? extends K, ? extends V>> 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 entries.

    • put

      void put(K key, V value)
      Adds a map entry to the property value.
      Parameters:
      key - the key
      value - the value

    • put

      void put(K key, Provider<? extends V> providerOfValue)
      Adds a map entry 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:
      key - the key
      providerOfValue - the provider of the value

    • putAll

      void putAll(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> entries)
      Adds all entries from another Map to the property value.
      Parameters:
      entries - a Map containing the entries to add

    • putAll

      void putAll(Provider<? extends Map<? extends K, ? extends V>> provider)
      Adds all entries from another Map 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 the entries

    • keySet

      Provider<Set<K>> keySet()
      Returns a Provider that returns the set of keys for the map that is the property value.

      The returned provider will track the value of this property and query its value when it is queried.

      This method is equivalent to 

          map(m -> m.keySet())
      but possibly more efficient.
      Returns:
      a Provider that provides the set of keys for the map

    • convention

      MapProperty<K,V> convention(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> value)
      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:
      value - The value.
      Returns:
      this

    • convention

      MapProperty<K,V> convention(Provider<? extends Map<? extends K, ? extends V>> valueProvider)
      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:
      valueProvider - The provider of the value.
      Returns:
      this

    • 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(Map) or put(Object, 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.
