Hi, is it possible to override a set and get function of a data class constructor var field?
for example: data class Person(var name: String)
I want to do something like
fun setName(value: String){
this.name = value
doSomethingElse()
}

Would this work?

data class Person(private val _name: String ){
    var name = _name
		set(value)  {
            field = value
            doSomethingElse()
        } 
}

That works and it’s what I’m doing. I was wondering if there was a “kotlin way” for that
