Computed values

With DSL configuration format we introduce support for computable values for properties. It is now possible to set value which is result of a computation, ie. concatenation of a strings or very simple mathematical expression. We currently support only following mathematical operations:

  • add
  • subtract
  • multiply
  • divide

Example of setting environment variable related path and computed timeout. 

bean {
  # setting path to `some-subdirectory` of user home directory
  path = prop('user.home') + '/some-subdirectory/'

  # setting timeout to 5 minutes (setting value in milliseconds)
  timeout = 5L * 60 * 1000
  # previously it would need to be configured in following way:
  # timeout = 300000L
}

Warning

For properties which accepts lists it is not allowed to set value using computed values with comma separated values like value1,value2 wrapped in [], ie. property = [ env('some-variable') + ',other-value' ]. It needs to be set in following way property = env('some-variable') + ',other-value'.
