java - Lombok annotation @Getter for boolean field

Question

I am using Java lombok annotation @Getter to generate getters for my POJO. I have a boolean field by the name isAbc.

The @Getter annotation in this case generates a method by the name isAbc(). Shouldn't it generate a method by the name isIsAbc()?

Answer 1

Read the 'small print' section on the lombok page https://projectlombok.org/features/GetterSetter.html

For boolean fields that start with is immediately followed by a title-case letter, nothing is prefixed to generate the getter name.

So the behavior you experience is as specified.

Note that the behavior is different for boolean and Boolean:

@Getter
private boolean isGood; // => isGood()

@Getter
private boolean good; // => isGood()

@Getter
private Boolean isGood; // => getIsGood()
