----------------------------------
Summary: Add support for custom generic types (definition time)
Key: THRIFT-5840
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5840
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compiler (General)
Affects Versions: 0.21.0
Reporter: Konstantin
It would be great to have custom generics support. (Like existing set<> list<>)
Generics probably should exist only in definition & compilation time. For
example:
{code:c#}
// definiton
struct PagedList<T>
{
1: list<T> Collection
2: i32 PageSize
3: i64 PageNumber
4: i64 TotalCount
}
struct Nullable<T>
{
1: T Value
}
// usage
enum SomeTypes
{
Type1 = 1
Type2 = 2
}
struct Data
{
1: string Name
2: i32 Age
3: string Blabla
}
service AService
{
PagedList<Nullable<SomeTypes>> GetPagedTypes (1: i64 pageNumber, 2: i32
pageSize) // etc
PagedList<Data> GetPagedData(1: i64 pageNumber, 2: i32 pageSize)
}
{code}
that would generate generic types where it is possible, and types like
PagedListData (or DataPagedList etc) in case if there is no generics support.
Right now it's required to define those PagedListData manually, which is
annoying and requires some extra effort.
What do you think?
