lombok

Posted on Edited on

lombok is a library to help your write java cleaner and more efficiently. It’s plugged into the editor and build tool, which works at compile time.

Essentially, it modifies the byte-codes by operating AST (abstract semantic tree) at compile time, which is allowed by javac. This is, in fact, a way to modify java grammar.

Usage

To use it,

  1. install lombok plugin in intellij
  2. add package dependency in project (to use its annotations)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <version>1.16.18</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

See all the annotations. Give some example here:

@Data

@Data bundles the features of @ToString, @EqualsAndHashCode, @Getter / @Setter and @RequiredArgsConstructor together.
