public interface BigMoneyProvider
BigMoney
.
This interface provides an abstraction over Money
and BigMoney
.
In general, applications should use the concrete types, not this interface.
However, utilities and frameworks may choose to make use of this abstraction.
Implementations of BigMoneyProvider
may be mutable.
To minimise the risk of the value of the provider changing while processing,
any method that takes a BigMoneyProvider
as a parameter should convert
it to a BigMoney
immediately and use that directly from then on.
The method BigMoney.of(BigMoneyProvider)
performs the conversion
safely with null checks and is recommended for this purpose.
This interface makes no guarantees about the immutability or thread-safety of implementations.
Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
BigMoney |
toBigMoney() |
Returns a
BigMoney instance equivalent to the value of this object. |
BigMoney toBigMoney()
BigMoney
instance equivalent to the value of this object.
It is recommended that BigMoney.of(BigMoneyProvider)
is used in
preference to calling this method directly. It is also recommended that the
converted BigMoney
is cached in a local variable instead of
performing the conversion multiple times.
