I have created this extension method which gets all properties from a KClass<T>
Extension Method
@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
inline fun <reified T : Any> KClass<T>.getProperties(): Iterable<KProperty1<T, *>> {
return members.filter { it is KProperty1<*, *> }.map { it as KProperty1<T, *> }
}
Example Usage
data class Foo(val bar: Int) {
val baz: String = String.EMPTY
var boo: String? = null
}
val properties = Foo::class.getProperties()
Result
val com.demo.Foo.bar: kotlin.Int
val com.demo.Foo.baz: kotlin.String
var com.demo.Foo.boo: kotlin.String?
How would I modify this extension method to only return properties that are declared in the primary constructor?
Expected Result
val com.demo.Foo.bar: kotlin.Int
You can take constructor parameters by getting primaryConstructor and then valueParameters, and because primary constructor is not required for kotlin class we can do something like this
inline fun <reified T : Any> KClass<T>.getProperties(): Iterable<KParameter> {
return primaryConstructor?.valueParameters ?: emptyList()
}
so if we will ask for properties of Foo class
val properties = Foo::class.getProperties()
properties.forEach { println(it.toString()) }
we will get
parameter #0 bar of fun <init>(kotlin.Int): your.package.Foo
and the result is not a KProperty, but a KParameter which may be more aligned to your use case
