Can support default value? about auto-value-gson HOT 11 CLOSED

It would be pretty handy to have some default value since i am facing same issue.
For example i am fetching list of object from API , and some object doesn't have certain property, so only way how to fix is it to annotate field with @nullable or to alter read method in final class AutoValue_XYZ extends $AutoValue_XYZ which is pretty nasty adn harder to maintain if i want to add new fields. @rharter are you planning to implement some kind of default value in future ?
Thanks

I just released 0.4.5, it should be available soon.

Thanks again! AutoValue, auto-value-parcel, and auto-value-gson are helping me cut the size of my value classes in half (and also enforce immutability).

Can you please detail what you're asking for and why?

from auto-value-gson.

class User {
    String name;
    String nickname;
}

Sometime service does not pass nickname and application will crash, But I do not want use @nullable and check "null" every time.

The readme discusses support for default values, but I can't seem to get it to work. The following compiles:

@AutoValue public abstract class Lesson {

    public abstract long id();
    public abstract String name();

    public static TypeAdapter<Lesson> typeAdapter(Gson gson) {
        return new AutoValue_Lesson.GsonTypeAdapter(gson);
    }
}

But this does not:

@AutoValue public abstract class Lesson {

    public abstract long id();
    public abstract String name();

    public static TypeAdapter<Lesson> typeAdapter(Gson gson) {
        return new AutoValue_Lesson.GsonTypeAdapter(gson)
                .defaultId(0L)
                .defaultName("")
    }
}

The error looks like this:

Lesson.java:46: error: cannot find symbol
                .defaultName("");

I am including the library like so:

    provided "com.ryanharter.auto.value:auto-value-gson:0.4.4"
    apt "com.ryanharter.auto.value:auto-value-gson:0.4.4"

from auto-value-gson.

From the changelog, it looks like maybe default value support has not been released yet?

Do you have an estimate when that might be? Just curious. I can build locally if I have to.
