# KotlinDeepCopy

Provide an easy way to generate `DeepCopy` function for `data class`. DeepCopy only takes effect on the component members i.e. the members declared in the primary constructor.

## Reflection

Use Kotlin Reflection to provide an extension function for `DeepCopyable` so that any data class which implements `DeepCopyable` can simply call `deepCopy()` to copy itsself.

See the test code below:

```kotlin
data class Speaker(val name: String, val age: Int): DeepCopyable

data class Talk(val name: String, val speaker: Speaker): DeepCopyable

class DeepCopyTest {
@Test
fun test() {
val talk = Talk("DataClass in Action", Speaker("Benny Huo", 30))
val newTalk = talk.deepCopy()
assert(talk == newTalk)
assert(talk !== newTalk)
}
}
```

`talk` equals `newTalk` since the values of their members are equal while they do not ref to the same object.

### How to Setup

This library has been deloyed to maven center.

```gradle
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-reflect:")
```

## Apt & Ksp

If you concern about the runtime efficiency, apt may be the solution. You can simply annotate the data class you want to deep copy with a `DeepCopy` annotation:

```kotlin
@DeepCopy
data class Speaker(val name: String, val age: Int)
@DeepCopy
data class Talk(val name: String, val speaker: Speaker)
```

Extension function `deepCopy` will be generated according to the components:

```kotlin
fun Talk.deepCopy(name: String = this.name, speaker: Speaker = this.speaker): Talk = Talk(name, speaker.deepCopy())

fun Speaker.deepCopy(
name: String = this.name,
age: Int = this.age,
company: Company = this.company
): Speaker = Speaker(name, age, company.deepCopy())
```

Notice that `deepCopy` is called recursively if the member type is also a `data class` annotated with a `DeepCopy` annotation. Hence, if you remove the annotation for `Speaker`, generated function would be like:

```kotlin
fun Talk.deepCopy(name: String = this.name, speaker: Speaker = this.speaker): Talk = Talk(name, speaker)

//And no deepCopy for Speaker.
```

### How to Setup

The artifacts have been deployed to maven central repository. Set up your project by adding these lines:

```gradle
plugins {
id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.9.20-1.0.14" // ksp
id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt" // kapt
}
...

dependencies {
ksp("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-compiler-ksp:")) // ksp
kapt("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-compiler-kapt:") // kapt
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-runtime:")
}
```

## KCP

This is a nearly perfect version I think. It works like `copy` does. You can install this IntelliJ plugin: [DeepCopy](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/19915-deepcopy-for-kotlin-data-class) and setup your project like this:

```gradle
plugins {
kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.20"
id("com.bennyhuo.kotlin.plugin.deepcopy") version ""
}

dependencies {
implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:deepcopy-runtime:")
}
```

And then try to call the `deepCopy` function directly!
