Annotation Type ProvidesIntoOptional


  • @Documented
    @Target(METHOD)
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    public @interface ProvidesIntoOptional
    Annotates methods of a Module to add items to a Multibinder. The method's return type and binding annotation determines what Optional this will contribute to. For example,
     @ProvidesIntoOptional(DEFAULT)
     @Named("url")
     String provideFooUrl(FooManager fm) { returm fm.getUrl(); }
    
     @ProvidesIntoOptional(ACTUAL)
     @Named("url")
     String provideBarUrl(BarManager bm) { return bm.getUrl(); }
     
    will set the default value of @Named("url") Optional<String> to foo's URL, and then override it to bar's URL.
