Hi,

Sometimes we need to contribute dynamically using current target class type.

Lets take the example of .get() and .list() methods of Grails domain class.
The signature of each method is as follows:

• public <DomainClassType> get(Long id) , Example: DemoClass.get(1) will return an object of “DemoClass”
• public List<DomainClassType> list()

The GDSL Script for the above example will be as follows:
[java]
import com.intellij.patterns.PsiJavaPatterns
import com.intellij.patterns.PlatformPatterns

//get the context of all files, and enable path matching. Note: Don’t change anything in context here.
def ctx = context(
ctype: PsiJavaPatterns.psiClass().withName(PlatformPatterns.string().matches(/.*/))
)

contributor(ctx) {
def path = ""
try {
path = psiClass.containingFile.originalFile.virtualFile.path
} catch (Exception e) {
}

//Check for Path pattern here
if (path =~ ".*/*grails-app/domain/.*") {
//Contribute to matching classes here.
method(name: ‘get’, type: psiClass.qualifiedName, params: [id: Long])
method(name: ‘list’, type: "List<${psiClass.qualifiedName}>")
}
}
[/java]
