I think the title speaks for itself - does Groovy have something like Kotlin scope functions?

obj.apply {
  foo()
  bar()
  baz()
}

// is the same as
obj.foo()
obj.bar()
obj.baz()

CodePudding user response：

Groovy has obj.with { } method that allows you to do the same:

obj.with {
  foo()
  bar()
  baz()
}

There is also obj.tap { } variant (an equivalent of obj.with(true) { }) that does the same, but it returns the incoming object.

def newObj = obj.tap {
  foo()
  bar()
  baz()
}
