public final class Instantiators
extends java.lang.Object

Contains utility methods which help to instantiate classes which follow certain conventions. The most common one is that e.g. a class provides a constructor with one argument of a certain type.

Method Detail

instantiatorFor

public static <T> Instantiators.OngoingInstantiatorCreation<T> instantiatorFor(java.lang.Class<T> instanceClass)

Starting point for fluent clauses to create instantiators for certain type of objects. A typical example for the creation of a certain type of object (Instance) with an argument of a certain type (Argument) could look like this:

 
     Instantiator<Argument, Instance> instantiator = instantiatorFor(Instance.class)
             .withArgumentType(Argument.class);

     Instance instance = instantiator.create(anArgument); // anArgument being of type Argument
 
 

Parameters:

instanceClass - the type of the objects to be created by the instantiator

Returns:

an objects that provides methods for refinements of the instantiator
