Spice up your Sling Models With Lombok

AEM Community

The Digital Foundation Blueprint provided by Adobe greatly streamlines AEM implementation methodology. WCM Core Components, an integral part of this blueprint provide key building blocks components for some of the most common use cases. To extend these core components, one of the recommended implementation pattern is the Sling Model Delegation Pattern.

In our experience, using this delegation pattern requires writing a lot of boiler plate code for e.g:

  • We have to implement every method defined by the interface and delegate it.
  • If new methods are introduced (for e.g when we upgrade to newer version of WCM Core Components), we need to implement those methods and delegate those also else, we may run into runtime or compile errors in some cases.

Lombok to the rescue!

Spice up your Sling Models With Lombok - INITIALYZE
Project Lombok can be used to spice up your java classes and generate boilerplate code automatically. Lombok annotations in classes combined with the Sling Model Delegation approach can significantly reduce the amount of code you need to write in your extended Sling Models.
