I am writing a small library for programatically generating SQL queries. The goal is that the API of this library can be used like that:
myQuery.where(
MyClass::id equal "foo",
MyClass::age notEqual 55
).findAll()
The signatures of both the where
function, and the infix operators is under my control. Here are the relevant definitions that I have at the moment:
interface KpaFilter<BASE, FIELD>
infix fun <BASE: Any, FIELD: Any> KProperty1<BASE, FIELD>.equal(value: FIELD): KpaFilter<BASE, FIELD> { ... }
fun <BASE: Any> where(vararg filters: KpaFilter<BASE, *>?): KpaQuery<BASE>
Still, I cannot find a proper way to make this type safe. For example, I would like this to raise a compilation error, but unfortunately, it compiles:
val someFilter = MyClass::id equal 55 // id is a string
Is it possible to somehow modify the signatures of the declarations above and achieve this kind of type safety, without making the API more cumbersome than its current form?
