    • Method Detail

      • render

        default String render()
        Render the type into a String for the purpose of code generation. This is slightly different from the `toString()` method as `toString()` is mostly needed for logging / debugging and should be idempotent. Regarding idempotency this method may yield different result based on the context it is used even if the internal state of the object does not change. An example of such case, is a reference to class that may change based on the package from which it's refenced.
        Returns:
        the String representation of the object as it's meant to appear in the generated code.
      • tab

        default String tab​(String... content)
        Render the specified content adding a tab as indentation for each line. Tab does not refer to the actual tab character but to two space characters. Thing of it as tab size 2 and expand tab to spaces.
        Parameters:
        content - one or more lines
        Returns:
        the indented String
