getGeneratorForType

public static final <T>
Optional<de.cuioss.test.generator.TypedGenerator<T>> getGeneratorForType(Class<T> type)

Factory method for creating an instance of ConstructorBasedGenerator. It first tries to find a public, than protected, package privates, private constructor. It always uses the constructor with the fewest arguments

Parameters:

type - to be checked for constructors, must not be null, nor an interface, nor an annotation nor an abstract-class nor an enum

Returns:

an Optional on the corresponding TypedGenerator if a constructor can be found
