Instead of use val mobileMain by creating {...}, can we put this result in a map, without creating a new val?

For example, something similar to: myMap["mobileMain"] by creating {...} (do not compile)

My motivation is that I would like to create a helper method to store sourceSets in a map, since I would like to consult this map later.

The creating delegation is using something like:

operator fun provideDelegate(thisRef: Any?, property: KProperty<*>) = ExistingDomainObjectDelegate.of(
        when (configuration) {
            null -> container.create(property.name)
            else -> container.create(property.name, configuration)
        }
    )

Do you want all the source sets in a map or just a subset?

[Dominaezzz]

The former is more or less done for you.

[GarouDan]

What do you mean when you say the former?

It looks like I’ve found an workaround

val myMap = mutableMapOf("mobileMain" to create("mobileMain"){...})

If possible I would like to store all my sourceSets on a map.

[Dominaezzz]

sourceSets is a map of all your source sets.

I see, the problem was that I wasn’t find a way to create a new entry in the sourceSets without using the delegation method. But I think create solves the problem to me.

Thanks 😃
