com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.naming.AbstractClassNameCheck
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable
,Contextualizable
Ensures that the names of abstract classes conforming to some regular
expression and check that abstract
modifier exists.
Rationale: Abstract classes are convenience base class implementations of interfaces, not types as such. As such they should be named to indicate this. Also if names of classes starts with 'Abstract' it's very convenient that they will have abstract modifier.
-
Property
format
- Specify valid identifiers. Type isjava.util.regex.Pattern
. Default value is"^Abstract.+$"
. -
Property
ignoreModifier
- Control whether to ignore checking for theabstract
modifier on classes that match the name. Type isboolean
. Default value isfalse
. -
Property
ignoreName
- Control whether to ignore checking the name. Realistically only useful if using the check to identify that match name and do not have theabstract
modifier. Type isboolean
. Default value isfalse
.
To configure the check:
<module name="AbstractClassName"/>
Example:
abstract class AbstractFirstClass {} // OK abstract class SecondClass {} // violation, it should match pattern "^Abstract.+$" class AbstractThirdClass {} // violation, must be declared 'abstract' class FourthClass {} // OK
To configure the check so that it check name
but ignore abstract
modifier:
<module name="AbstractClassName"> <property name="ignoreModifier" value="true"/> </module>
Example:
abstract class AbstractFirstClass {} // OK abstract class SecondClass {} // violation, it should match pattern "^Abstract.+$" class AbstractThirdClass {} // OK, no "abstract" modifier class FourthClass {} // OK
To configure the check to ignore name validation when class declared as 'abstract'
<module name="AbstractClassName"> <property name="ignoreName" value="true"/> </module>
Example:
abstract class AbstractFirstClass {} // OK abstract class SecondClass {} // OK, name validation is ignored class AbstractThirdClass {} // violation, must be declared as 'abstract' class FourthClass {} // OK, no "abstract" modifier
To configure the check
with format
:
<module name="AbstractClassName"> <property name="format" value="^Generator.+$"/> </module>
Example:
abstract class GeneratorFirstClass {} // OK abstract class SecondClass {} // violation, must match pattern '^Generator.+$' class GeneratorThirdClass {} // violation, must be declared 'abstract' class FourthClass {} // OK, no "abstract" modifier
