Pattern: Missing use of data class Issue: -

Description

Classes that simply hold data should be refactored into a data class. Data classes are specialized to hold data and generate hashCode, equals and toString implementations as well.

Example of incorrect code:

class DataClassCandidate(val i: Int) {

    val i2: Int = 0
}

Example of correct code:

data class DataClass(val i: Int, val i2: Int)
