Question

Hey Is it possible to create a setup like this using anonymous objects or something equivalent with using object literals en langs lite TypeScript ```data class Farmer val id String val farms f1 = Farmer 1 foo lt SomeClassInstance gt bar lt SomeClassInstance gt f2 = Farmer 2 baz lt SomeClassInstance gt qux lt SomeClassInstance gt Access farms by name checked at compile time f1 farms foo f2 farms qux```

Jacob K · Answer

i e have the type of the property be inferred from the keys actually present in that specific instance

Arkadiusz · Answer

```data class Farmer val id String val farms Map lt String lt SomeClassInstance gt gt ``` No because Kotlin is strongly statically typed

Jacob K · Answer

aral I mean technically it would still be statically type it s just that the type definition itself would be inferred from the usage

Damien O&apos;Hara · Answer

this is possible to an extent

Damien O&apos;Hara · Answer

```data class Farmer lt F gt val id String val farms F private val f1 = Farmer 1 object val foo String = foo val bar String = bar private val f2 = Farmer 2 object val baz Int = 4 val qux Int = 6 fun main println $ f1 farms foo $ f1 farms bar $ f2 farms baz $ f2 farms qux ```

To my understanding is that anonymous object s actual type is `Any` in a public context But it works in local and private not inline declarations So I thought maybe it can be persuaded wink it s for simplifying some test cases

Jacob K · Answer

< Damien O Hara> does the above work because it s effectivly local

Jacob K · Answer

Ah missed the type parameter see no evil

Damien O&apos;Hara · Answer

note that it will be quite hard to work with these since you won t be able to name the types anywhere but the approach should work as long as you never have to state the type explicitly

Jacob K · Answer

I think that s fine I just want to setup som fixture data that I can reference in test cases And I just want the IDE to help me suggest the named properties and have the compiler make sure I reference test data that actually exists

Jacob K · Answer

but the required `private` visibility modifier might make it impractical

Damien O&apos;Hara · Answer

ah you are right about that Any up casting even with the type parameter bit of a shame

Jacob K · Answer

This might me ok ```data class Farmer lt TFarms TTractors gt val id String val farms TFarms val tractors TTractors object Farmer1Farms const val FOO = 123 const val BAR = 123 object Farmer1Tractors const val SUPERPULLER = WROOM const val PLOWER = YUMYUM val farmer1 = Farmer farmer 1 Farmer1Farms Farmer1Tractors fun main = println $ farmer1 farms BAR uses $ farmer1 tractors SUPERPULLER ```
