AutoValue: Moshi Extension

An extension for Google's AutoValue that creates a simple Moshi JsonAdapterFactory for each AutoValue annotated object.

Usage

Simply include auto-value-moshi in your project and add a public static method with the following signature to classes you want to get Moshi JsonAdapters. You can also annotate your properties using @Json to define an alternate name for de/serialization.

@AutoValue public abstract class Foo {
  abstract String bar();
  @Json(name="Baz") abstract String baz();

  public static JsonAdapter<Foo> jsonAdapter(Moshi moshi) {
    return new AutoValue_Foo.MoshiJsonAdapter(moshi);
  }
}

Now build your project and de/serialize your Foo.

Factory

Optionally, auto-value-moshi can create a single JsonAdapter.Factory so that you don't have to add each generated JsonAdapter to your Moshi instance manually.

To generate a JsonAdapter.Factory for all of your auto-value-moshi classes, simply create an abstract class that implements JsonAdapter.Factory and annotate it with @MoshiAdapterFactory, and auto-value-moshi will create an implementation for you. You simply need to provide a static factory method, just like your AutoValue classes, and you can use the generated JsonAdapter.Factory to help Moshi de/serialize your types.

@MoshiAdapterFactory
public abstract class MyAdapterFactory implements JsonAdapter.Factory {

  // Static factory method to access the package
  // private generated implementation
  public static JsonAdapter.Factory create() {
    return new AutoValueMoshi_MyAdapterFactory();
  }
  
}

Then you simply need to register the Factory with Moshi.

Moshi moshi = new Moshi.Builder()
    .add(MyAdapterFactory.create())
    .build();
