This library was created for generating names based on specific rules such as :

• $UserID
• $UserName
• $CurrentDate
• $CurrentTime
• $JobID

There is a parse method parseInput("your expression") that takes your input string and returns the new one.

How it works:

To create data for parsing you can use a builder .builder().userId("2").userName("test").jobId("3").build(); And if you want to generate your name based on the following pattern : $UserID-$UserName , data from the builder will be used and the following name will be generated: '2-test'.

If you will write a pattern that is not found in rules like : "$PropertyName" . It will throw an exception that property is not found.

Default value is a concatenated between “CurrentDate”&”CurrentTime”. So for an empty input it will generate a name based on CurrentDate and Time, for ex. "10/10/2010-10:20".

There is an option to combine variable with a text: Hello - $CurrentDate, it will result the following output "Hello - $10/10/2018"

Sample:

BatchNameGenerator rules = BatchNameGenerator.builder()
        .userName("Test")
        .userId("1")
        .jobId("3")
    .build();

String input = "$UserName-$CurrentDate";
String batchName = rules.parseInput(input);

Steps to start working with it:

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

<repositories>
	<repository>
	    <id>jitpack.io</id>
	    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>

Step 2. Add the dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.esempla</groupId>
    <artifactId>batch-name-generator</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
