Required arguments with a Lombok @Builder

Question

If I add @Builder to a class. The builder method is created.

Person.builder().name(\"john\").surname(\"Smith\").build();

I have a requirem

Answer 1

You can do it easily with Lombok annotation configuration

import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.ToString;

@Builder(builderMethodName = "hiddenBuilder")
@ToString
public class Person {

    private String name;
    private String surname;

    public static PersonBuilder builder(String name) {
        return hiddenBuilder().name(name);
    }
}

And then use it like that

Person p = Person.builder("Name").surname("Surname").build();
System.out.println(p);

Of course @ToString is optional here.
