ObjectBox

ObjectBox Gradle Plugin

The ObjectBox Gradle Plugin makes using ObjectBox easy in a JVM or Android project written in Java or Kotlin, and is free and open source. See the documentation on how to get started.

Minimum requirements to apply the plugin

Development

This project is known to build with JDK 17.

This repository contains a collection of Gradle subprojects:

  • objectbox-gradle-plugin provides the actual Gradle plugins (io.objectbox and io.objectbox.sync),
  • objectbox-processor provides an annotation processor,
  • objectbox-generator provides a source code generator used by the annotation processor,
  • objectbox-code-modifier provides model file ("IdSync") generation used by the annotation processor, and byte-code transformers for Android and Java projects.
    • Multiple agp-wrapper-x-y projects provide a compatibility layer for specific versions of the Android Plugin API, currently for byte-code transforms only.

All are published as Maven artifacts (see gradle folder).

Adding a new property type

This is a checklist on how to add support for a new property type:

  • (Optional) Java: update generated Flatbuffers Java classes to add new PropertyType.
  • Generator: add new generator PropertyType and map it to the Java API PropertyType.
  • Processor: add a field with each new supported type to SimpleEntity.java (SimpleEntityTest).
  • Processor: update to detect the new property types (also check if indexes should be prevented).
  • Update the model expected by the test.
  • Java API: add new collect methods to Cursor.java.
  • Generator: update PropertyCollector to generate code using the new collect methods.
  • Update the generated files expected by the test.
  • Java integration tests: add a field with the new type to TestEntity.java, update BoxTest.java.
    • Java: update TestEntity and tests with code (incl. generated by the plugin) of integration tests.
  • Java: add additional tests as needed, e.g. query the new property.
