Is it a bad thinks to use a lot object instead of classes?

[feroz_baig]

If the objects are related, you can bundle them in a class. Would be more structured, isn't it?

[fstn]

mmmm... for exemple I have a Vertx Verticle that use a service and a manager

[fstn]

the service and the manager are services

[fstn]

they are like utils classes

[fstn]

for example :

package fstn.vertxFlow.config.manager

import io.vertx.rxjava.core.Vertx
import io.vertx.rxjava.core.buffer.Buffer
import rx.Observable


/**
 * Use to read or write bpmn flow file
 * @author fstn
 */
class BpmnManager {

    fun get(flowName:String): Observable<Buffer> {
        return Vertx.vertx().fileSystem()
                .rxReadFile(“$flowName.bpmn”)
                .doOnError { throw UnableToReadConfigurationException(flowName) }
                .toObservable()
    }

    fun set(flowName:String,flowContent:String): Observable<Void> {
        return Vertx.vertx().fileSystem()
                .rxWriteFile(“$flowName.bpmn”, Buffer.buffer(flowContent))
                .doOnError { throw UnableToWriteConfigurationException(flowName) }
                .toObservable()
    }

    class UnableToWriteConfigurationException(flowName: String) : RuntimeException(flowName)
    class UnableToReadConfigurationException(flowName: String) : RuntimeException(flowName)
}

am not familiar with rx 😅

[fstn]

the get return the content of the file

[fstn]

and the set write into the file

[fstn]

should I use a class or an object ?

[fstn]

or a companion object

[stantronic]

Personally I think you're fine using object - a class with companion would be overkill for something like this

[stantronic]

alternatively you could just use a bunch of package-scoped functions, as there doesn't seem to be any persisted state here

[fstn]

yes there is no persistent data

[fstn]

but Intellij doesn’t import automaticaly package of function

[fstn]

so it’s very boring

[fstn]

that’s why I prefere to use classes or objects 😂

[stantronic]

it should - it works for me

[fstn]

Am I wrong?

[fstn]

Mine doesn’t want to

[stantronic]

strange

[stantronic]

i guess the function names are too short for the intellisense to kick in

[stantronic]

I use slightly longer names, and the autocoplete starts suggesting them

[fstn]

Maybe 😉
