No, you'd have to make a factory method then and make the constructor private, which means you also need to override copy. If you use invoke in the companion object, you can make it look like a normal constructor call though.

diesieben07: Ok thanks. I will give it a try.

Do you have any example for a companion object with "invoke"?

[diesieben07]

data class Foo private constructor(val bla: List<String>) {
    companion object {
        operator fun invoke(bla: List<String>) = Foo(bla.toList())
    }
}

[diesieben07]

Can be called like Foo(<myList>), which will call invoke.

Thanks.
