I would assume a getter for particular property, but I have found my mistake as the extension won't get called if property isn't initialized.

Is there a way to get the property itself?

This stuipd example is a great start to get behind the scenes 😄

In extensions you call

this

to access caller property. 😄

@dhkim Inference is not (yet) perfect in Kotlin. You have to use

null as Any?

.

But I wouldn't give functions the same name.

is it crazy time?

// prefix not-null check with !!expr
inline operator fun Any?.not() = this == null

(Don't try this at home. Or in production. Or anywhere else)

stunt is performed by professionals😄

hold my beer

var property : Int
    get(){
    property
}
    set(value) {
    property = value
}

looks like StackOverflowError

I actually fell for that once. Took me a while to realize that you need to call

field

instead of

property

.

@aimozg you inspired me, but I am wondering why this isn't working

fun Any?.to() : Boolean {
    return this != null
}

or as generic version

fun <T> <http://T.to|T.to>() : Boolean {
    return this != null
}

@User uploaded a file: Internationalization of if (condition) {} else {}

Yuck, localized source code 😵

But while we're at it, I'd suggest changing

wenn

to

falls

. Matches the intention more closely.

Ironic though that you kept the parameters

condition

,

ifBlock

etc. in English 😛

reminds me of Visual Basic 🙂

Could someone please fix the slack logo of this Slack group? It look cool with the glow on dark themes but sucks for light themes. Just fix the transparency

When do you use caps for kotlin vals?

Sometimes I put constants in a companion object so they can be accessed from the outside

But that makes java code messy

Before you had

SomeClass.SOME_CONSTANT

. Now there is

SomeClass.Companion.getSOME_CONSTANT()

Java code is messy even without interop with Kotlin 😉

suggests

@JvmField

Also

@JvmStatic

to get static behavior if you need it.
