Hi. I'd like to define Entity for domain of DDD in Kotlin. Is my field definition correct?
I use val for id because this field is immutable. And I use var for name and status because they are mutable fields. All fields are private to prevent to be updated directly from the outside.

You could probably use an enum for the status instead of a String.

I see. thank you.

you could also use a data class i guess

In my understand data class is used for value object. Because data class is the same as the value object because it is considered the same object if all the fields are the same.
Data class can also be used for Entity?

@speed_star value class is a future syntax, data class just means “please generate toString, hashCode and a few other convenient things (copy, componentN...)”. You can still override those you don't like.

I got it :)

but with vals and @NoCopy you basically get valueobject 🙂
