Hi guys! Need some help to see if this is possible.

class CustomKlass(val status: Int = 0,
                           val code: String? = null,
                           val message: String? = null,
                           val type: String? = null): ErrorResponse {

   
}

Is it possible to generate a function with the same parameters as this class (possibly at compile time) ?

“Generate”?

[nanodeath]

Use reflection + KotlinPoet maybe?

[AlexJuca]

@streetsofboston Yeah, I want to create a library function that can be customized depending on the params of a custom class like in the example.

[AlexJuca]

@Max Russek I will try.

[streetsofboston]

Ah… yup, then try what Max said.
And, if you are veeeeery adventurous, try writing a Kotlin Compiler Plugin 🙂

[nanodeath]

sounds kind of xy problem to me though...do you reeeeally need that functionality? enough to spend at least a couple days implementing it?

[streetsofboston]

Also, Kotlin can refer to a constructor as a plain function:
val ctrAsFunction = ::CustomKlass
