Java: how to automatically generate a custom method for a variable

Question

I have a situation where I want to define a variety of behavior for my fields.

class SomePage { //... @FindBy(id = "selectEthinicity") private WebElement ethinicitySelect; @FindBy(id = "someId") private WebElement usernameInputField; @FindBy(id = "buttonSubmit") private WebElement submitButton; public void selectEthnicity(String param) throws Exception { new Select(ethnicitySelect).selectByVisibleText(param); } public void selectEthnicityByIndex(String param) throws Exception { new Select(ethnicitySelect).selectByIndex(Integer.parseInt(param)); } public int getSelectEthinicityNumberOfOptions() { new Select(ethnicitySelect).getOptions().size(); } public void waitForOptionOfSelectEthnicityToLoad() { //logic to wait for an options of Ethinicity to load } public void selectEthnicity_Wait(String param) throws Exception { //wait //select Ethinicity } public void selectEthnicityByIndex_Wait(String param) throws Exception { //wait and //Select Ethnicity by einde } //custom method for input Field public String getUsernameInputFieldValue() { usernameInputField.getAttribute("value"); } public void enterUsernameInputField(String param) { usernameInputField.sendKeys(param); } //custom method for button public void clickSubmitButton() throws PageValidationException { submitButton.click(); } //... } 

Here I have a SomePage class, which is a page object (using the Factory Pattern page), which consists of fields ( WebElement ).

Based on the field name suffix, I need to create a number of methods. If the suffix is *Select , the field will have a number of methods that may be similar for all select field . If the suffix is *Button , it will have the method that is needed for the button field .

Is it possible to create a custom method based on suffix of field names .

NOTE. IntelliJ Supports modification of custom Getters and Setters, but does not allow the use of multiple methods for each field. It limits 1 getter and 1 setter per field. For example, this is not always the case. I have multiple setter (setter type) or getter for a field.

Answer 1

Generating Getters and Setters in IntelliJ IDEA:

• In the main menu, select "Code". In addition, right-click on the editor and select "Create in the context menu" or use the key combination "Alt + Insert".
• In the pop-up list that appears in the editor, select one of the following options: getter Access method to get the current value of the selected fields. setter Mutator for setting setpoints in selected fields. Getter and Setter Both methods for selected fields.
• In the Select Fields to Generate Recipients and Setters dialog box, select the fields you want. You can add a custom setter or getter by clicking browseButton and accessing the Getter / Setter Templates window. If getters and setters for a field already exist, this field is not on the list.
• Click OK. For more information, click here .

You can create custom classes, but the dynamic generation of classes is a fairly advanced function, and from the sounds of your problem it is unnecessarily complicated.

I think you should create a new class for these objects with the same functionality. You should read about object-oriented programming because it is a pretty simple concept. Your example may be bad, but why are you overriding the String functions for each button? Here is an example of another construction:

 public class Button { private String text; public Button(String text) { this.text = text; } public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; } public String getText() { return text; } } 

Then just declare a bunch of new class.

 class Temp { Button abcButton = new Button("abc"); Button cdeButton = new Button("cde"); // Instead of setAbcButtonToLower() abcButton.setText(abcButton.getText().toLowerCase()); // Instead of getAbcButtonIndexOfChar() abcButton.getText().indexOf(c); // Instead of getAbcButtonSize() abcButton.getText().length(); } 

Answer 3

Cannot create custom methods automatically. For custom methods, you must define them why it is called custom. best of all, you can get only the basic getter and setter methods, I think you already have those, or you can do it like this class Button {string}

class buttonProperties {

int buttonLength; int buttonSize;

public int getbuttonSize () {

 return buttonSize; 

},,.

}
