Hello, World! Isn't there a shorter way to do this (with by)?

var parameter: Parameter
        set(value) {
            delegate.parameter = value
        }
        get() = delegate.parameter

[Michael de Kaste]

the property for being writeable or readable is not within the type itself. therefore you'll have to use either a wrapper in a delegate, or do it like you did.

yeah something like:

var parameter by delegate

[Joost Klitsie]

but then you'd have to create the delegate as well, maybe this will inspire you

yeah but basically I wanted to delegate only this particular field 🙂 In my case delegate is actually already an interface which I don't want to implement fully

[bod]

😄 true, don't know why I did that

[bod]

thanks everybody anyway!
