AutoValue: Moshi Extension

An extension for Google's AutoValue that creates a simple Moshi JsonAdapterFactory for each AutoValue annotated object.

Usage

Simply include auto-value-moshi in your project and annotate your target autovalue class with Moshi's @JsonClass annotation. generateAdapter must be true, and the generator property value should be "avm".

@JsonClass(generateAdapter = true, generator = "avm")
@AutoValue
public abstract class Foo {
  abstract String bar();
  @Json(name="Baz") abstract String baz();

  public static JsonAdapter<Foo> jsonAdapter(Moshi moshi) {
    return new AutoValue_Foo.MoshiJsonAdapter(moshi);
  }
}

Using @JsonClass, no further configuration is necessary. Moshi 1.9+ will automatically pick these types up at runtime.

Legacy alternative

Add a public static method with the following signature to classes you want to get Moshi JsonAdapters. You can also annotate your properties using @Json to define an alternate name for de/serialization.

@AutoValue public abstract class Foo {
  abstract String bar();
  @Json(name="Baz") abstract String baz();

  public static JsonAdapter<Foo> jsonAdapter(Moshi moshi) {
    return new AutoValue_Foo.MoshiJsonAdapter(moshi);
  }
}

Now build your project and de/serialize your Foo.

Generics support

note: this section only applies if using the legacy opt-in via static method. If using @JsonClass, Moshi will handle this automatically.

If the annotated class uses generics, the static method needs a little modification. Simply add a Type[] parameter and pass it to the generated MoshiJsonAdapter class.

@AutoValue public abstract class Foo<T> {
    abstract T data();
    
    public static <T> JsonAdapter<Foo<T>> jsonAdapter(Moshi moshi, Type[] types) {
        return new AutoValue_Foo.MoshiJsonAdapter(moshi, types);
    }
}

Builder Support

If your @AutoValue class has a builder, auto-value-moshi will use the builder to instantiate the class. If the @AutoValue class has a static no-argument factory method for its builder, it will be used. If there are multiple factory methods, the one annotated @AutoValueMoshiBuilder will be used. This can be useful for setting default values.

@JsonClass(generateAdapter = true, generator = "avm")
@AutoValue
public abstract class Foo {
  abstract int bar();
  abstract String quux();

  public static Builder builder() {
    return new AutoValue_Foo.Builder();
  }

  @AutoValueMoshiBuilder
  public static Builder builderWithDefaults() {
    return new builder().quux("QUUX");
  }
}

Factory

note: this section only applies if using the legacy opt-in via static method. If using @JsonClass, Moshi will handle this automatically.

Optionally, auto-value-moshi can create a single JsonAdapter.Factory so that you don't have to add each generated JsonAdapter to your Moshi instance manually.

To generate a JsonAdapter.Factory for all of your auto-value-moshi classes, simply create an abstract class that implements JsonAdapter.Factory and annotate it with @MoshiAdapterFactory, and auto-value-moshi will create an implementation for you. You simply need to provide a static factory method, just like your AutoValue classes, and you can use the generated JsonAdapter.Factory to help Moshi de/serialize your types.

@MoshiAdapterFactory
public abstract class MyAdapterFactory implements JsonAdapter.Factory {

  // Static factory method to access the package
  // private generated implementation
  public static JsonAdapter.Factory create() {
    return new AutoValueMoshi_MyAdapterFactory();
  }
  
}

Then you simply need to register the Factory with Moshi.

Moshi moshi = new Moshi.Builder()
    .add(MyAdapterFactory.create())
    .build();

Transient types

To ignore certain properties from serialization, you can use the @AutoTransient annotation. This comes from a shared transience annotations library and is an api dependency of the runtime artifact. You can annotate a property and it will be treated as transient for both serialization and deserialization. Note that this should only be applied to nullable properties.

Download

Add a Gradle dependency:

annotationProcessor("com.ryanharter.auto.value:auto-value-moshi-extension:1.1.0")
implementation("com.ryanharter.auto.value:auto-value-moshi-runtime:1.1.0")

// If using optional @MoshiAdapterFactory factory
annotationProcessor("com.ryanharter.auto.value:auto-value-moshi-factory:1.1.0")
