    • Method Detail

      • within

        GroupableSelector within​(Scope... scopes)
        Specifies the scope for this selector in order to narrow down the selector target.

        For example, if the Person class has two Phone fields: 

        
     class Person {
         private Phone home;
         private Phone cell;
         // snip...
     }

        and we want to set only the cell phone to a specific value, we can narrow down the selector as follows: 

        
     Person person = Instancio.of(Person.class)
         .set(field(Phone.class, "number").within(scope(Person.class, "cell")), "123-45-67")
         .create();

        Multiple scopes can be specified top-down, that is starting from the outermost class.

        Parameters:
        scopes - one or more scopes to apply
        Returns:
        a selector with the specified scope
