  • Method Details

    • getCompatibilityRules

      CompatibilityRuleChain<T> getCompatibilityRules()

    • getDisambiguationRules

      DisambiguationRuleChain<T> getDisambiguationRules()

    • ordered

      void ordered(Comparator<T> comparator)

      A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided Comparator.

      All provider values which are lower than or equal the consumer value are compatible. When disambiguating, it will pick the highest compatible value.

      Parameters:
      comparator - the comparator to use for compatibility and disambiguation

    • ordered

      void ordered(boolean pickLast, Comparator<T> comparator)

      A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided Comparator.

      All provider values which are lower than or equal the consumer value are compatible.

      Parameters:
      pickLast - tells if, for disambiguation, we should pick the last value in order instead of the first one
      comparator - the comparator to use for compatibility and disambiguation
