Hey, I’ve got two data classes like so:

data class FleetUnitJson(
    val id: Int,
    val stock_no: String,
    val children: List<FleetUnitJson>
)

data class FleetUnit(
    val id: Int,
    val stock_no: String
)

How can I create a FleetUnit from a FleetUnitJson? I can pass all the properties to the constructor of course but I thought there might be an easier way.

You could add fun toFleetUnit() = FleetUnit(id, stock_no) to FleetUnitJson

Thanks @arve that’s pretty much what I’ve ended up doing. There were just loads of properties so it felt a bit unwieldy, but Android Studio made it simple actually.

I would rather use extension function than member function to have less coupling between classes
