DBC-Android

Fluent design by contract assertions for Android

Installation

Add the JitPack repository to your root build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

In your module's build.gradle file, add the dependency:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.github.busybusy:DBC-Android:{LatestVersionHere}'
}

Usage

To remove the assertions from your code simple ensure that proguard minify is enabled

Use the design by contract assertions throughout your code to verify assumptions

import static com.busybusy.dbc.Dbc.*;

@NonNull
public String someMethod(@NonNull String arg1) {
    require(arg1).isNotNull();
    
    //or with a custom message
    require(arg1).message("See \"foo()\" for \"someMethod(String)\" usage example").isNotNull();
    
    String postFix = getPostFix();
    
    check(postFix).passes(CustomChecks::someCheck) //Java 8 method refference 
                  .passes((subject) -> subject.length() > 2) //Java 8 lambda syntax
                  .passes(new SomeCustomYetFrequentCheck()) //Prebuilt check with concrete type 
                  .passes(new DbcBlock<String>() { //Java 6/7 anonymous class   
                      @Override
                      boolean checkState(String subject) {
                          return subject.length() > 2;
                      }
                  }); 
    
    String result = arg1 + postFix;
    ensure(result).isValid();
    return result;
}
