David Kron created GROOVY-8320:
----------------------------------
Summary: Support property references in addition to the method
references from Java 8
Key: GROOVY-8320
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8320
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser-antlr
Affects Versions: 2.6.0-alpha-1
Reporter: David Kron
Priority: Minor
It would be great if the method reference syntax from Java (Class::method or
obj::method) could also be extended to support Groovy properties. The new
parser currently already parses the syntax without error, but it gets treated
as a method reference.
Potential example usage:
{code:java}
class Test {
String property
}
def test = new Test(property: 'Hello')
def boundReference = test::property
def unboundReference = Test::property
// getting/setting property using bound reference
println boundReference.get()
boundReference.set('Hello to you!')
// getting/setting property using unbound reference
println unboundReference.get(test)
unboundReference.set(test, 'Hello to you!')
{code}
