Complex example

Example

Creating a Car with a make, manufacturer, mileage, status, a Driver and 4 wheels. The fun stuff happens in Car Blueprint

ModelFactory modelFactory = new ModelFactory();
modelFactory.registerBlueprint( new CarBlueprint() );
modelFactory.registerBlueprint( new WheelBlueprint() );
modelFactory.registerBlueprint( new DriverBlueprint() );
Car car = modelFactory.createModel( Car.class );

Blueprints

Car Blueprint

Blueprint for the Car model. The wheels property is annotated with @MappedList(target = Wheel.class, size = 4). This will set the value of wheels to a List<Wheel> with 4 instances of Wheel (created using the registered WheelBlueprint). The driver property is annotated with @Mapped. This will set the value of driver to an instance of Driver (created using registered DriverBlueprint).

@Blueprint(Car.class)
public class CarBlueprint {

    @Default
    public String make = "car make";

    @Default
    String manufacturer = "car manufacturer";

    @Default
    Integer milage = 100;

    @Default
    Map status = new HashMap();

    @MappedList(target = Wheel.class, size = 4)
    List<Wheel> wheels;

    @Mapped
    Driver driver;
}

Wheel Blueprint

Wheel Blueprint sets default values for name, size and option.

@Blueprint(Wheel.class)
public class WheelBlueprint {

    @Default
    String name = "tire name";

    @Default
    Integer size = 10;

    @Default
    Object option = new ArrayList();

}

Driver Blueprint

Driver Blueprint sets default values for first name, last name, and age.

@Blueprint(Driver.class)
public class DriverBlueprint {

    @Default
    String firstName = "Steve";

    @Default
    String lastName = 10;

    @Default
    Integer age = 37;
}
