    • Method Detail

      • key

        String key​(T dataObject)
        Gets the key for data object. If no key exists beforehand, a new key is created.
        Parameters:
        dataObject - data object for key mapping
        Returns:
        key for given data object

      • has

        boolean has​(T dataObject)
        Check whether this key mapper contains the given data object.
        Parameters:
        dataObject - the data object to check
        Returns:
        true if the given data object is contained in this key mapper, false otherwise

      • get

        T get​(String key)
        Gets the data object identified by given key.
        Parameters:
        key - key of a data object
        Returns:
        identified data object; null if invalid key

      • remove

        void remove​(T dataObject)
        Removes a data object from the key mapping. The key is also dropped. Dropped keys are not reused.
        Parameters:
        dataObject - dropped data object

      • removeAll

        void removeAll()
        Removes all data objects from the key mapping. The keys are also dropped. Dropped keys are not reused.

      • refresh

        void refresh​(T dataObject)
        Updates any existing mappings of given data object. The equality of two data objects is determined by the equality of their identifiers provided by the given value provider.
        Parameters:
        dataObject - the data object to update

      • setIdentifierGetter

        void setIdentifierGetter​(ValueProvider<T,​Object> identifierGetter)
        Takes identifier getter into use and updates existing mappings
        Parameters:
        identifierGetter - has to return a unique key for every bean, and the returned key has to follow general hashCode() and equals() contract, see Object.hashCode() for details.
