Groovy adds to Map objects the toMapString method. With this method we can have a String representation of our Map. We can specify an argument for the maximum width of the generated String. Groovy will make sure at least the key/value pairs are added as a pair, before adding three dots (...) if the maximum size is exceeded.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | def course = [ name: 'Groovy 101', teacher: 'mrhaki', location: 'The Netherlands'] assert course.toMapString(15) == '[name:Groovy 101, ...]'assert course.toMapString(25) == '[name:Groovy 101, teacher:mrhaki, ...]' |
As mentioned in a previous post we can use the toListString method to represent a List as a String:
1 2 | def names = ['mrhaki', 'hubert']assert names.toListString(5) == '[mrhaki, ...]' |
