Fluent setters

Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

By default, jOOQ generated artefacts follow JavaBeans conventions, where setters return void. If that is not a hard requirement, fluent setters can be generated where the setter returns the record/interface/pojo itself. To activate this behaviour, use:

XML (standalone and maven)
Programmatic
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)
Gradle (third party)
<configuration> <generator> <generate> <fluentSetters>true</fluentSetters> </generate> </generator> </configuration>

See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.

new org.jooq.meta.jaxb.Configuration() .withGenerator( new Generate() .withFluentSetters(true) )

See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.

// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
generationTool { generator { generate { fluentSetters = true } } }
