BuilderBase (Hyperfoil API 0.17 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

Action.Builder, Processor.Builder, RawBytesHandler.Builder, StepBuilder<S>, Transformer.Builder

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseSequenceBuilder, BaseSequenceBuilder.SimpleAdapter, Processor.ActionBuilderAdapter, SequenceBuilder, StepBuilder.ActionAdapter
```
public interface BuilderBase<S extends BuilderBase<S>>
```
Intended base for all builders that might need relocation when the step is copied over.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default S`	`copy(java.lang.Object newParent)`	Some scenarios copy its parts from one place to another, either during parsing phase (e.g.
`default void`	`prepareBuild()`

- Method Detail
  - prepareBuild
```
default void prepareBuild()
```
  - copy
```
default S copy(java.lang.Object newParent)
```
    Some scenarios copy its parts from one place to another, either during parsing phase (e.g. through YAML anchors) or in prepareBuild(). In order to make sure that modification in one place does not accidentally change the original one we require defining a deep copy method on each builder. The only exception is when the builder is immutable (including potential children builder); in that case the deep copy is not necessary and this method can return this.
    The default implementation uses reflection to create a deep copy of all collections and maps, calling copy() on all objects implementing BuilderBase.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newParent - Object passed to a matching constructor.
    
    Returns:
    
    Deep copy of this object.
