public class Transformers
extends Object

Helper class to utilize available Transformer instances to perform conversions.

This class is automatically utilized by Composable but kept public in case custom implementations need to access this functionality.

Method Detail

canMake

public <T> boolean canMake(Object source,
                           Class<T> target)

Determines if the given object can be transformed into the given target type.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the target

Parameters:

source - the object to transform

target - the target type

Returns:

true if a conversion (adaption) is possible, false otherwise

make

public <T> T make(Object source,
                  Class<T> target)

Tries to transform the given object to match the given target type.

The class is only transformed if it implements the Transformable interface.

Transformations are done recursively until a matching transformation happens or the class tried to transform does not implement the Transformable interface.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the target

Parameters:

source - the object to transform

target - the target type

Returns:

a transformed object matching the given type or null to indicate that no conversion was possible
