I often see the following annotations in code:
@Getter
@Setter
public int test = 1;
I know I can create getter
and setter
methods using this annotations.
But which classes/library do I need to use these annotations?
@Getter
and @Setter
are Lombok annotations.
Lombok is a framework that generates repetitive code like, equals
, hashCode()
or getters
and setters
in annotated classes or attributes, cleaning up the code, making coding much faster and avoiding human errors because of forgetting some parts...
Just note one thing: your attribute is public, what has not much sense when you insert getters and setters:
@Getter
@Setter
private int test = 1;
Is the equivalent to:
private int test = 1;
public int getTest() {
return test;
}
public void setTest(int test) {
this.test = test;
}
