One of my favourite language features of Dart (other one being
factory constructors) are auto-assign constructors, for example
(writing it in pseudo-D):
class Person
{
string name;
int age;
this(this.age, this.name);
}
would translate to
class Person
{
string name;
int age;
this(int age, string name)
{
this.age = age;
this.name = name;
}
}
It saves a lot of typing in the long run when doing lots of OOP,
is there a way to reproduce such behaviour using mixins? I was
thinking of some interface like:
class Person
{
string name;
int age;
mixin(AutoConstructor!(age, name));
}
but I don't know if that's even doable using mixins. Even cooler
might be something like an annotation (feels a bit Lombok-like
from Java):
@AutoConstructor
class Person
{
string name;
int age;
}
but I don't think it's doable in D right now.
I am not looking for code, I can try that myself, just asking if
such things are possible?
