Question

I am a Groovy beginner

These are two each calls which both do a similar task but with a different property of s2PublicLifecycleInstance.

How can I write a separate function which does the following, so that I can have only method call to achive the task?

def scheduledStatusArray =[]
def publishedStatusArray =[]

s2PublicLifecycleInstance.each {
  if(it.scheduledInMyLearnStatus == "No"){
    scheduledStatusArray.add(1)
  } else if(it.scheduledInMyLearnStatus == "Yes"){
    scheduledStatusArray.add(2)
  }else{
    scheduledStatusArray.add(3)
  }
}

s2PublicLifecycleInstance.each {
  if(it.publishedOnTrainingClassesStatus == "No"){
    publishedStatusArray.add(1)
  }else if(it.publishedOnTrainingClassesStatus == "Yes"){
    publishedStatusArray.add(2)
  }else{
    publishedStatusArray.add(3)
  }
}

I want something like this:

def publishedStatusArray = functionCall(s2PublicLifecycleInstance, propertyName)

is it possible in Groovy?

Answer 1

I agree with gasan. I can add, that
def publishedStatusArray = functionCall(s2PublicLifecycleInstance, propertyName)
is possible in groovy. The function:

functionCall(def s2PublicLifecycleInstance, String propertyName){
s2PublicLifecycleInstance."$propertyName"
}

will return the property you want.
