Caleb Cushing updated LANG-1625: -------------------------------- Description: what I want is to be able to add multiline/prettyprint to any style. I like the `IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString` method, but I wish it could support compound styling, for example ```java var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().json(); IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles); ``` or ```java var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().shortPrefix(); IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles); ``` I feel like adding an additional parameter breaks the rule of no more than 4 parameters unless varargs (josh bloch, and others), so I'm proposing a builder. ```java var styles = new StyleBuilder() .multiline() .shortPrefix() .outputTransients() .reflectUpToSuperClass(...); // name change here, I didn't quite get what it was talking about at first in the documentation. ``` or maybe ```java ToStringFormatter formatter= ToStringFormat.of( ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX, ToStringLineStyle.MULTILINE); ToStringBuilder.reflectUpToSuperClass(this, formatter, true, MyClass.class); ``` was:I like the `IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString` method, but I wish it could support compound styling, for example > IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString compound styles > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-1625 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1625 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: lang.builder.* > Reporter: Caleb Cushing > Priority: Major > > what I want is to be able to add multiline/prettyprint to any style.
