Thanks Kotlin for making this utility function soooooo simple 🤗🙃😋

fun ImageView.loadImage(
        url: String?,
        @DrawableRes placeholder: Int? = null,
        circular: Boolean = false,
        roundedCorners: Int = 0
) {
    Glide.with(context)
            .load(url)
            .apply {
                placeholder?.let { apply(RequestOptions().placeholder(it)) }
                if (circular) {
                    apply(RequestOptions.circleCropTransform())
                } else if (roundedCorners != 0) {
                    apply(RequestOptions.bitmapTransform(RoundedCorners(context.dip(roundedCorners))))
               }
            }
            .into(this)
}

I would love to get any suggestions/improvements to this function.

        }
        into(this@loadImage)
    }
}

More of an alternative, than an improvement I guess.

[pavi2410]

this@loadImage though 😣

        circular: Boolean = false,
        roundedCorners: Int = 0
) {
    with(Glide.with(context)) {
        load(url)
        placeholder?.let { apply(RequestOptions().placeholder(it)) }
        if (circular) {
            apply(RequestOptions.circleCropTransform())
        } else if (roundedCorners != 0) {
            apply(RequestOptions.bitmapTransform(RoundedCorners(context.dip(roundedCorners))))
        }
    }.into(this)
}

4 params for one function? Is it not it too much? Generally, I never cross 3 params, ideally go for max 2 params for a clean code

[Jacob Applin]

More params mean more utility though /s

[pavi2410]

The use of named args with default values makes it cleaner.

[Dominaezzz]

Might as well make a DSL too.

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Don't go overboard with DSLs. It takes ages to compile code that is using non trivial DSL parts

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

So something like 3-4 levels nested makes the compiler extra busy

Also, avoid using Glide.with(context) directly. If you can, generate RequestManager using Glide.with(this) in your Activities or Fragments. This step will help you a lot to reclaim memory when your fragment or activity is out of lifecycle.
