Playing with Java Records (JEP 395)

Creating a Link Java 16 Record:

public record Link(String text, String uri) {
    public Link {
        uri = "https://" + uri;
    }

    public String toHTMLLink() {
        return """
        <a href="%s">%s</a>""".formatted(this.uri,this.text);
    }

    public static String exampleURI() {
        return "https://airhacks.live";
    }
    
}

...and testing:

public class RecordTest {

    @Test
    public void rocks() {
        var link = new Link("workshops", "airhacks.live");
        System.out.println(link);
        System.out.println(link.text() + " - " + link.uri());
        System.out.println(Link.exampleURI());

        System.out.println("show me the link; " + link.toHTMLLink());
    }
}
