I need to create a list of events with a string as name and a list of pairs as properties, some events properties are the static value, some need dynamically changed, so I create specific functions inside the enum entry to update it but complied with error unresolved reference:
Actually, what I want to implement is a list of enums with associated values, something like these articles mentioned:
- KT-4075 Allow setters overloading for properties, or
- Kotlin: single property with multiple setters of different types, or
- Using Kotlin’s sealed class to approximate Swift’s enum with associated data
Because I have more than 100 events, 95% of them are static, only several of them need to be updated during runtime, so sealed class might not suit my situation:
enum class Event(val eventName: String, vararg eventProperties: Pair<String, String?>) {
LOGIN_CLICKED("Login", ("View" to "button clicked")),
LOGIN_SUCCEED("Login", ("Type" to "succeed")),
LOGIN_ERROR("Login") {
fun errorMessage(errorMessage: String) {
eventProperties = listOf("ErrorType" to errorMessage)
}
},
// ... some other events
LIST_ITEM_CLICKED("LIST") {
fun listItemName(itemName: String) {
eventProperties = listOf("View" to itemName)
}
};
var eventProperties: List<Pair<String, String?>>? = listOf(*eventProperties)
// Although this approach can fix my problem, but I don't prefer it,
// because these functions are only meaningful to specific enum item,
// I don't want them be opened to all enum items.
//
// fun errorMessage(errorMessage: String) {
// eventProperties = listOf("ErrorType" to errorMessage)
// }
// fun listItemName(itemName: String) {
// eventProperties = listOf("View" to itemName)
// }
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
// unresolved reference
println(Event.LOGIN_ERROR.eventProperties)
Event.LOGIN_ERROR.errorMessage("error password")
println(Event.LOGIN_ERROR.eventProperties)
}
