innerbuilder [](https://travis-ci.org/analytically/innerbuilder)
============
[IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7354-innerbuilder/) that
adds a 'Builder' action to the Generate menu (Alt+Insert) which generates an inner builder class as described in
the [Effective Java book](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-java-3rd/9780134686097/). Works with
[IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) 2019 and later.
```java
public class JavaBean {
private final String foo;
private String bar;
private int qux;
private Double x,y;
private JavaBean(Builder builder) {
foo = builder.foo;
bar = builder.bar;
qux = builder.qux;
x = builder.x;
y = builder.y;
}
public static Builder newJavaBean() {
return new Builder();
}
public static final class Builder {
private String foo;
private String bar;
private int qux;
private Double x;
private Double y;
private Builder() {
}
public Builder foo(String val) {
foo = val;
return this;
}
public Builder bar(String val) {
bar = val;
return this;
}
public Builder qux(int val) {
qux = val;
return this;
}
public Builder x(Double val) {
x = val;
return this;
}
public Builder y(Double val) {
y = val;
return this;
}
public JavaBean build() {
return new JavaBean(this);
}
}
}
```
### Installation
In IntelliJ IDEA 2019 or later, open `Preferences...` > `Plugins`, search for `innerbuilder`. It should show up in
the plugin list, click `INSTALL`.
#### Manual installation
Download the plugin jar `innerbuilder.jar` and select `Install Plugin From Disk` in IntelliJ's plugin preferences.
### Usage
Use `Shift+Alt+B` or `Alt+Insert` and select `Builder...`. Choose the fields to be included and press `OK`. When generating a
builder when a builder already exists, the plugin will try to update it. It will add missing fields and builder methods, but
never remove any fields or methods.
