Description

ObjectBox already provides some minimal Kotlin extensions:

// Regular
val box: Box<DataClassEntity> = store.boxFor(DataClassEntity::class.java)

// With extension
val box: Box<DataClassEntity> = store.boxFor()
// Regular
val query = box.query().`in`(property, array).build()

// With extension
val query = box.query().inValues(property, array).build()

This issue is to track what other Kotlin extensions may be added.

Some ground rules:

  • should leverage features unique to Kotlin
  • should not just be a shorter version of an existing method
  • should not optimize fur just a single use case

Things to look out for:

  • default args for methods
  • builder pattern
  • making util methods discoverable from the type they operate on
  • destructuring
