Generic Base Respose models in Kotlin - api

Question

Everyone following is my json response:
{
"requestResponse": {
"status": 1,
"result": true,
"msg": "Success"
},
"userId": 5504
}
And following is my Base Response class:
class BaseResponses<T>{
lateinit var requestResponse: RequestResponse
}
and following are my User data class parameters.
data class User(val userId:Int)
And below as implementation:
#POST(ApiUrls.CREATE_USER)
fun createUser(#Body body: CreateUser): Single<BaseResponses<User>>
my question is that how can I access T type which is User in the Base class would highly appreciate the help.
Thanks

Answer 1

You don't need a genetic type - you need to inherit the properties.
data class BaseResponses { // Remove T, it's doing nothing
lateinit var requestResponse: RequestResponse
}
// Extend base class to inherit common `requestResponse` field
data class User(val userId:Int) : BaseResponses()
// User now will contain requestResponse object
#POST(ApiUrls.CREATE_USER)
fun createUser(#Body body: CreateUser): Single<User>

I might be understanding you wrong, you just want to re-use the RequestResponse class since it is generic and will be common in all your APIs. So just have it as a parameter in User data class.
So it will be like this
data class User(
val requestResponse: RequestResponse,
val userId: Int
)
Now you can simply access it directly from User object. You can even go a step further and assign it default values like this
data class User(
val requestResponse: RequestResponse = RequestResponse(),
val userId: Int = 0
)
data class RequestResponse(
val msg: String = "",
val result: Boolean = false,
val status: Int = 0
)
