Shell / awk script to generate getter / setter stubs for .java file
I realize many IDEs do this, but I felt like writing a few lines of script to spit this out instead. This will grab every line marked “private”, whether method or member variable and generates a default getter/setter.
Note: it doesn’t insert the code for you or even capture to a file. Maybe next I’ll do a Javascript version.
private Date businessDate;
private String eventTypeCode;
private String sourceCode;
// becomes the following
public Date getBusinessDate(){
return businessDate;
}
public void setBusinessDate(Date businessDate){
this.businessDate = businessDate;
}
public String getEventTypeCode(){
return eventTypeCode;
}
public void setEventTypeCode(String eventTypeCode){
this.eventTypeCode = eventTypeCode;
}
public String getSourceCode(){
return sourceCode;
}
public void setSourceCode(String sourceCode){
this.sourceCode = sourceCode;
}
Script source:
#!/bin/env sh
# takes a single filename of a .java file and generates a default getter/setter stub for each private variable
cat $1 | grep private | awk '{
varName=substr($3, 1, length($3) - 1);
print " public " $2 " get" toupper(substr(varName,1,1)) substr(varName, 2) "(){ ";
print " return " varName ";";
print " }"
print " public void set" toupper(substr(varName,1,1)) substr(varName, 2) "(" $2 " " varName "){ ";
print " this." varName " = " varName ";";
print " }"
}'
