Override getter for Kotlin data class

Question

Given the following Kotlin class:

data class Test(val value: Int)

How would I override the Int getter so that it returns 0 if

Answer 1

I have seen your answer, I agree that data classes are meant for holding data only, but sometimes we need to make somethings out of them.

Here is what i'm doing with my data class, I changed some properties from val to var, and overid them in the constructor.

like so:

data class Recording(
    val id: Int = 0,
    val createdAt: Date = Date(),
    val path: String,
    val deleted: Boolean = false,
    var fileName: String = "",
    val duration: Int = 0,
    var format: String = " "
) {
    init {
        if (fileName.isEmpty())
            fileName = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf('\\'))

        if (format.isEmpty())
            format = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf('.'))

    }


    fun asEntity(): rc {
        return rc(id, createdAt, path, deleted, fileName, duration, format)
    }
}
