Constructor Detail

DesignFormatter

public DesignFormatter()

Creates the formatter with default types already mapped.

Method Detail

mapDefaultTypes

protected void mapDefaultTypes()

Maps default types to their converters.

addConverter

protected <T> void addConverter(Converter<java.lang.String,T> converter)

Adds a converter for a new type.

Parameters:

converter - Converter to add.

addConverter

protected <T> void addConverter(java.lang.Class<?> type,
                                Converter<java.lang.String,?> converter)

Adds a converter for a given type.

Parameters:

type - Type to convert to/from.

converter - Converter.

removeConverter

protected void removeConverter(java.lang.Class<?> type)

Removes the converter for given type, if it was present.

Parameters:

type - Type to remove converter for.

getRegisteredClasses

protected java.util.Set<java.lang.Class<?>> getRegisteredClasses()

Returns a set of classes that have a converter registered. This is not the same as the list of supported classes - subclasses of classes in this set are also supported.

Returns:

An unmodifiable set of classes that have a converter registered.

parse

public <T> T parse(java.lang.String value,
                   java.lang.Class<? extends T> type)

Parses a given string as a value of given type

Parameters:

value - String value to convert.

type - Expected result type.

Returns:

String converted to the expected result type using a registered converter for that type.

format

public java.lang.String format(java.lang.Object object)

Finds a formatter for a given object and attempts to format it.

Parameters:

object - Object to format.

Returns:

String representation of the object, as returned by the registered converter.

format

public <T> java.lang.String format(T object,
                                   java.lang.Class<? extends T> type)

Formats an object according to a converter suitable for a given type.

Parameters:

object - Object to format.

type - Type of the object.

Returns:

String representation of the object, as returned by the registered converter.

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(java.lang.Class<?> type)

Checks whether or not a value of a given type can be converted. If a converter for a superclass is found, this will return true.

Parameters:

type - Type to check.

Returns:

true when either a given type or its supertype has a converter, false otherwise.

findConverterFor

protected <T> Converter<java.lang.String,T> findConverterFor(java.lang.Class<? extends T> sourceType,
                                                             boolean strict)

Finds a converter for a given type. May return a converter for a superclass instead, if one is found and strict is false.

Parameters:

sourceType - Type to find a converter for.

strict - Whether or not search should be strict. When this is false, a converter for a superclass of given type may be returned.

Returns:

A valid converter for a given type or its supertype, null if it was not found.

findConverterFor

protected <T> Converter<java.lang.String,T> findConverterFor(java.lang.Class<? extends T> sourceType)

Finds a converter for a given type. May return a converter for a superclass instead, if one is found.

Parameters:

sourceType - Type to find a converter for.

Returns:

A valid converter for a given type or its subtype, null if it was not found.
