Prompt Detail:
Yes, in the provided code:
kotlinuseCase(private val helper: Helper): Helper by helper
You are using Kotlin's interface delegation. By doing so, you're essentially forwarding the Helper
interface's functions to the helper
instance. As a result, any public functions defined in the Helper
interface can be called directly on an instance of useCase
.
Here's an example to clarify:
Suppose the Helper
interface looks like this:
kotlininterface Helper {
fun assist(): String
}
If you have an implementation of Helper
:
kotlinclass ConcreteHelper : Helper {
override fun assist() = "Assisting..."
}
And you create useCase
like:
kotlinclass useCase(helper: Helper) : Helper by helper
Now, when you create an instance of useCase
:
kotlinval myUseCase = useCase(ConcreteHelper())
You can directly call:
kotlinprintln(myUseCase.assist())
This will print "Assisting...".
So, by using interface delegation in this manner, you're effectively exposing the public methods of the helper
instance through the useCase
class. If you want to hide the Helper
's methods or only expose a subset of them, you should avoid using interface delegation in this context.
