Class OfBuilder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Builder<Of>, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.CheckedBuilder<Of,​IllegalArgumentException>, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Mutable, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.MutationBehaviour<org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Mutable>

    @Generated("mdsal-binding-generator")
    public class OfBuilder
    extends Object
    implements org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Builder<Of>
    Class that builds Of instances. Overall design of the class is that of a fluent interface, where method chaining is used.

    In general, this class is supposed to be used like this template:

       
         Of createOf(int fooXyzzy, int barBaz) {
             return new OfBuilder()
                 .setFoo(new FooBuilder().setXyzzy(fooXyzzy).build())
                 .setBar(new BarBuilder().setBaz(barBaz).build())
                 .build();
         }
       
     

    This pattern is supported by the immutable nature of Of, as instances can be freely passed around without worrying about synchronization issues.

    As a side note: method chaining results in:

    • very efficient Java bytecode, as the method invocation result, in this case the Builder reference, is on the stack, so further method invocations just need to fill method arguments for the next method invocation, which is terminated by build(), which is then returned from the method
    • better understanding by humans, as the scope of mutable state (the builder) is kept to a minimum and is very localized
    • better optimization opportunities, as the object scope is minimized in terms of invocation (rather than method) stack, making escape analysis a lot easier. Given enough compiler (JIT/AOT) prowess, the cost of th builder object can be completely eliminated

        • Object
        Parameters:
        arg - grouping object
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if given argument is none of valid types or has property with incompatible value

        public OfBuilder addAugmentation​(org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.Augmentation<Of> augmentation)
        Add an augmentation to this builder's product.
        Parameters:
        augmentation - augmentation to be added
        Returns:
        this builder
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if augmentation is null
      • removeAugmentation

        public OfBuilder removeAugmentation​(Class<? extends org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.Augmentation<Of>> augmentationType)
        Remove an augmentation from this builder's product. If this builder does not track such an augmentation type, this method does nothing.
        Parameters:
        augmentationType - augmentation type to be removed
        Returns:
        this builder
