AbstractMemberDefinition (Grails 7.1.0-SNAPSHOT)

grails.codegen.model.AbstractMemberDefinition

```
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
abstract class AbstractMemberDefinition
extends java.lang.Object
```
Abstract base class for domain class member definitions (properties and fields). Contains shared logic for validation, constraints, and annotation generation.
Since:
7.1

- Constructor Detail
  - AbstractMemberDefinition()
- Method Detail
  - protected abstract java.lang.String getMemberType()
    
    Returns the member type name for error messages (e.g., "Property" or "Field").
  - java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getRequiredImports()
    
    Gets the required import statements for Jakarta Validation annotations.
    Returns:
    set of fully qualified import class names
  - boolean isBuiltinType()
    
    Checks if the type is a built-in type that doesn't require imports.
  - protected static boolean isValidTypeName(java.lang.String typeName)
    
    Validates that a type name looks like a valid class/type name. Allows simple names (String), qualified names (java.util.Date), and generics (List<Book>).
  - java.util.List<java.lang.String> toAnnotations()
    
    Generates Jakarta Validation annotations for the member. Returns an empty list if no annotations are needed.
    Returns:
    list of annotation strings (e.g., ["@NotNull", "@Size(max = 255)"])
  - java.lang.String toConstraintLine()
    
    Generates the constraint line for the constraints block. Returns null if no constraints are needed.
    Returns:
    the constraint line (e.g., "title blank: false, maxSize: 255") or null
  - abstract java.lang.String toDeclaration()
    
    Generates the declaration line for the domain class.
    Returns:
    the declaration (e.g., "String title" or "private String title")
  - boolean usesGrailsConstraints()
    
    Determines if this member should use Grails constraints.
  - boolean usesJakartaAnnotations()
    
    Determines if this member should use Jakarta annotations.
  - void validate()
    
    Validates the member definition.
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if validation fails
