configure

abstract fun configure(object: Any, configureClosure: Closure): Any(source)

Configures an object via a closure, with the closure's delegate set to the supplied object. This way you don't have to specify the context of a configuration statement multiple times.

Instead of:

MyType myType = new MyType()
myType.doThis()
myType.doThat()

you can do:

MyType myType = configure(new MyType()) {
    doThis()
    doThat()
}

The object being configured is also passed to the closure as a parameter, so you can access it explicitly if required:

configure(someObj) { obj -> obj.doThis() }

Return

The configured object
