LuciadFusionInterface ILcdObjectTransformation

All Known Implementing Classes:

ALcdObjectTransformation

public interface ILcdObjectTransformation

Transformation that is responsible for transforming a given object into another object. The object can be a data object (in case of conversion of a data object type) or a scalar value (in case of primitive types).

Since:

11.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
default ILcdObjectTransformation	andThen(ILcdObjectTransformation aAfter) Returns a transformation that executes the given transformations after the current one, passing the result of this transformation to the next.
ILcdObjectTransformation	getInverse() Returns the inverse transformation.
Object	transform(Object aObject, Map<Object,Object> aContext) Transforms the given value to another value.

Method Detail

transform

Object transform(Object aObject,
                 Map<Object,Object> aContext)

Transforms the given value to another value. The given aObject should not be null. The context can be used to share information between transformations.

Parameters:

aObject - the value to transform

aContext - the context

Returns:

the transformed value

getInverse

ILcdObjectTransformation getInverse()

Returns the inverse transformation. getInverse().transform( transform( object ) ) should always return an object that can be considered equal to the given object. When the transformation has no inverse, null should be returned.

Returns:

the inverse transformation

andThen

default ILcdObjectTransformation andThen(ILcdObjectTransformation aAfter)

Returns a transformation that executes the given transformations after the current one, passing the result of this transformation to the next.

Parameters:

aAfter - the transformation to chain

Returns:

a transformation that first applies this transformation and then applies the aAfter transformation
