What’s Groovy? Alternative language for the JVM Compiles bytecode Statically
or at Runtime Can use Java libraries

Where the Magic happens... 02
Methods Default value parameters Named parameters No return statement Return
multiple variables Groovy Methods
def createGenyboy(gender = “male”) { … if(gender == “male”) name
= “Genyboy” … [name, color, size] } def(String name, Color color, int size) = createGenyboy(gender:“female”) Groovy Methods
static def cmd(def command, Closure c){ Process p = command.execute()
p.text.eachLine {line, count -> c(line, count) } p.exitValue() } a = “hello” cmd(“gmtool admin list”) {line, count -> print a + line } Groovy Closures
def array = [] array = [“one”, “two”, “three”] tab.findAll(){item
-> item.size == 3 print it } [1, 2, 3].each(){ print it } def map = [:] map = [one:1, two:2, three:3] assert map.one == map[“one”] def range = 2..5 assert range == [2, 3, 4, 5] Groovy Collections
static noNull(Closure c){ String nullLabel = null.toString() NullObject.metaClass.toString = {return
''} c() //set as defaut NullObject.metaClass.toString = {return nullLabel} } cmd([“gmtool”, “admin”, “create” “template”, “device”, “--density=”+density]) >> gmtool admin create template device --density=null noNull{ cmd([“gmtool”, “admin”, “create” “template”, “device”, “--density=”+density]) } >> gmtool admin create template device --density= Groovy Metaclass
boolean checkTable(tab) { if(tab?.size() >= 4) return true return false
} Groovy Safe Navigation
And others Native support for Regex ~/myRegex/ Powerful switch statement
switch awesomness { case 1..10: “yeah!” } Operator Overloading 1 + 1 = 1
Conclusion You keep focus on business logic Like magic So
dynamic, you have to test ! JUnit & Co. So dynamic, so easy to mock JSON-likery
