Annotation Type EnhancedBuilder

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface EnhancedBuilder

EnhancedBuilder extends ExternalStrategy with the following:

• Provides Immutability support by passing the builder into the Object's constructor
• Provides a "prebuild" hook to allow pre-processing of data prior to the instantiation of the Object
• Provides the ability to explicitly declare fields in the builder so that you can leverage Intellij's syntax checking
• A convenience function to trim all Strings prior to instantiating the Object

The @EnhancedBuilder annotation must be added to the Builder Class along with the @ Builder annotation. To indicate the prebuild hook, annotate the no-arg constructor with @Prebuild

  @Builder(builderStrategy = ExternalStrategy, prefix = "with", forClass = ClassToBuild)
  @EnhancedBuilder
  private static class ClassToBuildBuilder {

      List <String> addressLines = []

      @Prebuild
      void makeCollectionsImmutable() {
          this.addressLines = ImmutableList.copyOf(this.addressLines)
      }
  }
