...and that, kids, is why java has this thing called imports
Imports wouldn’t help. It’s setters with a ton of chained getters
Mostly they're all the same up to the last one or two methods - just set the common part as a variable?
Definitely. I’m pretty sure they modified the code to look as bad as possible just to take the photo though. You can clearly see all the lines are marked as modified in the gutter.
It's also a good way to potentially multiply your query costs and slow down the function, while introducing possible inconsistencies if the objects are modified between the first and last time they are requested.
This is the best answer.... Or the outer classes being delegated access to the inner ones and so on, like an onion.
I wonder if this is one of the situations that Kotlin delegated parameters were designed to handle? (I'm new to Kotlin and still don't understand that "by" construct there)
