In Java we can do this Events.handler(Handshake.class, hs -> out.println(hs));
In Kotlin however I am trying to replicate the behavior to replace this:
Events.handler(Handshake::class, object : EventHandler<Handshake> {
override fun handle(event: Handshake) {
println(event.sent)
}
})
With a more convenient:
Events.handler(Handshake::class, EventHandler<Handshake> { println(it.sent) })
For some reason in reference to EventHandler
:
More preferably however I'd like to use something even shorter like this: Events.handler(Handshake::class, { println(it.sent) })
Or use the advertised feature to use the method like this: Events.handler(Handshake::class) { println(it.sent) }
This is my Events
object:
import java.util.*
import kotlin.reflect.KClass
object Events {
private val map = HashMap<Class<*>, Set<EventHandler<*>>>()
fun <T : Any> handler(eventType: KClass<T>, handler: EventHandler<T>) {
handler(eventType.java, handler)
}
fun <T> handler(eventType: Class<T>, handler: EventHandler<T>) = handlers(eventType).add(handler)
fun post(event: Any) = handlers(event.javaClass).forEach { it.handle(event) }
operator fun plus(event: Any) = post(event)
private fun <T> handlers(eventType: Class<T>): HashSet<EventHandler<T>> {
var set = map[eventType]
if (set == null) {
set = HashSet<EventHandler<*>>()
map.put(eventType, set)
}
return set as HashSet<EventHandler<T>>
}
}
And my EventHandler
interface:
@FunctionalInterface
interface EventHandler<T> {
fun handle(event: T)
}
Assuming below that you really need EventHandler
as a separate interface (eg for Java interop). If you don't, you can simply use a type alias (since Kotlin 1.1):
typealias EventHandler<T> = (T) -> Unit
In this case a simple lambda will work right away.
But if you don't want to use a type alias, the issue still stands. It is that Kotlin only does SAM-conversion for functions defined in Java. Since Events.handler
is defined in Kotlin, SAM-conversions do not apply to it.
To support this syntax:
Events.handler(Handshake::class, EventHandler<Handshake> { println(it.sent) })
You can define a function named EventHandler
:
fun <T> EventHandler(handler: (T) -> Unit): EventHandler<T>
= object : EventHandler<T> {
override fun handle(event: T) = handler(event)
}
To support this syntax:
Events.handler(Handshake::class, { println(it.sent) })
or this:
Events.handler(Handshake::class) { println(it.sent) }
You need to overload the handler
function to take a function instead of EventHandler
:
fun <T> Events.handler(eventType: Class<T>, handler: (T) -> Unit) = EventHandler(handler)
A lot of nice things has happened to Kotlin since @andrey-breslav posted the answer. He mentions:
It is that Kotlin only does SAM-conversion for functions defined in Java . Since Events.handler is defined in Kotlin, SAM-conversions do not apply to it.
Well, that's no longer the case for Kotlin 1.4+ . It can use SAM-conversion for Kotlin functions if you mark an interface as a "functional" interface:
// notice the "fun" keyword
fun interface EventHandler<T> {
fun handle(event: T)
}
You can read the YouTrack ticket here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-7770 . There's also an explanation why Kotlin needs a marker for such interfaces unlike Java ( @FunctionalInterface
is only informational and has no effect on the compiler ).
