Description of changes:
It was brought to my attention that the
buildStruct()
function, when used from Java, requires the lambda expression to returnUnit.INSTANCE
, which is really ugly for Java consumers of this library.I've marked the
buildStruct()
function as deprecated, and replaced it withionStructOf()
overloads—one for Java that acceptsConsumer<MutableStructFields>
and one that is hidden from Java that acceptsMutableStructFields.() -> Unit
.While I was making these changes, I discovered that the package directive in the "demo" test cases did not match the file location, so I fixed those as well.
I also fixed some doc comments in
MutableStructFields
.Finally, I also realized that
MutableStructFields
would be a little nicer to use from Java if it was a proper builder class (i.e. with methods that returnthis
). I've created #98 because I don't know whether it's worth adding yet another way to create a struct, and completely replacingMutableStructFields
would be a breaking change.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.
