OneOfArrayGenerator

public OneOfArrayGenerator(GeneratorContext context)

Method Details

apiMethod

public String apiMethod()

Description copied from class: AbstractGenerator

Returns the public API method name of the generator spec. The returned name is used for reporting validation errors.

Specified by:

apiMethod in class AbstractGenerator<T>

Returns:

spec name if defined, or null otherwise

oneOf

public OneOfArrayGenerator<T> oneOf(T... values)

Description copied from interface: OneOfArrayGeneratorSpec

Selects a random value from the given choices.

Specified by:

oneOf in interface OneOfArrayGeneratorSpec<T>

Specified by:

oneOf in interface OneOfArraySpec<T>

Parameters:

values - from which a random value will be selected

Returns:

completed spec with no further methods

nullable

public OneOfArrayGenerator<T> nullable()

Description copied from interface: NullableGeneratorSpec

Indicates that null value can be generated.

Specified by:

nullable in interface NullableGeneratorSpec<T>

Specified by:

nullable in interface ValueSpec<T>

Overrides:

nullable in class AbstractGenerator<T>

Returns:

spec builder

tryGenerateNonNull

protected T tryGenerateNonNull(Random random)

Description copied from class: AbstractGenerator

Makes the best effort to return a non-null value. However, in certain cases this method will produce a null.

Specified by:

tryGenerateNonNull in class AbstractGenerator<T>

Parameters:

random - for generating the value

Returns:

generated value, either a null or non-null

hints

public Hints hints()

Description copied from interface: Generator

Hints provided by the generator to the engine.

The most important hint for custom generators is AfterGenerate. This hint indicates whether the object created by this generator:

• should be populated (for example, if it has null fields)
• can be modified using selectors

For example, setting the hint to AfterGenerate.POPULATE_NULLS will cause Instancio to populate null fields on the object returned by this generator:

   @Override
   public Hints hints() {
       return Hints.afterGenerate(AfterGenerate.POPULATE_NULLS);
   }
 

If the action is not specified, default behaviour will be based on the AfterGenerate value configured in the Settings using the key Keys.AFTER_GENERATE_HINT.

In addition, the following hints can be provided for populating data structures:

• ArrayHint
• CollectionHint
• MapHint

Specified by:

hints in interface Generator<T>

Overrides:

hints in class AbstractGenerator<T>

Returns:

hints from this generator to the engine
