Class ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>

java.lang.Object

net.tribe7.common.collect.ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>

Enclosing class:

ImmutableTable<R,C,V>

public static final class ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>
extends java.lang.Object

A builder for creating immutable table instances, especially public static final tables ("constant tables"). Example:

   static final ImmutableTable<Integer, Character, String> SPREADSHEET =
       new ImmutableTable.Builder<Integer, Character, String>()
           .put(1, 'A', "foo")
           .put(1, 'B', "bar")
           .put(2, 'A', "baz")
           .build();

By default, the order in which cells are added to the builder determines the iteration ordering of all views in the returned table, with putAll(net.tribe7.common.collect.Table<? extends R, ? extends C, ? extends V>) following the Table.cellSet() iteration order. However, if orderRowsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super R>) or orderColumnsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super C>) is called, the views are sorted by the supplied comparators. For empty or single-cell immutable tables, ImmutableTable.of() and ImmutableTable.of(Object, Object, Object) are even more convenient.

Builder instances can be reused - it is safe to call build() multiple times to build multiple tables in series. Each table is a superset of the tables created before it.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ImmutableTable<R,C,V>	build() Returns a newly-created immutable table.
ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>	orderColumnsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super C> columnComparator) Specifies the ordering of the generated table's columns.
ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>	orderRowsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super R> rowComparator) Specifies the ordering of the generated table's rows.
ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>	put(R rowKey, C columnKey, V value) Associates the (rowKey, columnKey) pair with value in the built table.
ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>	put(Table.Cell<? extends R,? extends C,? extends V> cell) Adds the given cell to the table, making it immutable if necessary.
ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V>	putAll(Table<? extends R,? extends C,? extends V> table) Associates all of the given table's keys and values in the built table.

Constructor Detail

ImmutableTable.Builder

public ImmutableTable.Builder()

Creates a new builder. The returned builder is equivalent to the builder generated by ImmutableTable.builder().

Method Detail

orderRowsBy

public ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V> orderRowsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super R> rowComparator)

Specifies the ordering of the generated table's rows.

orderColumnsBy

public ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V> orderColumnsBy(java.util.Comparator<? super C> columnComparator)

Specifies the ordering of the generated table's columns.

put

public ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V> put(R rowKey,
                                C columnKey,
                                V value)

Associates the (rowKey, columnKey) pair with value in the built table. Duplicate key pairs are not allowed and will cause build() to fail.

put

public ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V> put(Table.Cell<? extends R,? extends C,? extends V> cell)

Adds the given cell to the table, making it immutable if necessary. Duplicate key pairs are not allowed and will cause build() to fail.

putAll

public ImmutableTable.Builder<R,C,V> putAll(Table<? extends R,? extends C,? extends V> table)

Associates all of the given table's keys and values in the built table. Duplicate row key column key pairs are not allowed, and will cause build() to fail.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if any key or value in table is null

build

public ImmutableTable<R,C,V> build()

Returns a newly-created immutable table.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if duplicate key pairs were added
