Hi all, I have an annotation `MyCustomAnnotation` ...

# ksp

[Dilraj Singh]

Hi all, I have an annotation MyCustomAnnotation and a class of the following manner:

@MyCustomAnnotation
abstract class User {
    val id: Int = 11
    val name: String
}

Now I am trying to generate the following function using KSP:

fun getUser(id: Int = 11, name: String): User {
    return User(id, name)
}

I am unable to get the value defined of the variable id, so the function generated has no default arguments. Any method to get the value of a class variable? Currently the following function is being generated:

fun getUser(id: Int name: String): User {
    return User(id, name)
}

Thanks

I think you cannot get that through KSP, since the value is not part of the signature of the class, but part of the implementation

Thanks 👍

you could try to generate another annotation that’ll be used for properties in your class and specify de default value there

Yes that could also work, but I was looking for something that could handle complex data types also (user defined data classes). Probably something that can simply copy the string after "=", and provide it at compile time.
