@ToString

Generated toString() listing visible instance fields.

Kind	Codegen
Backends	legacy, stage3
Requires generate	Yes (unless combined with @Data, which includes toString)

When to use

• Debugging and logging for data classes
• Lightweight string representation without manual template strings

When not to use

• Types containing secrets (passwords, tokens) — fields are included by default
• When you need JSON serialization — use JSON.stringify or a dedicated serializer

Example

import { ToString } from 'lombok-typescript/legacy';

@ToString
export class Point {
  x!: number;
  y!: number;
}

lombok-ts generate

import { applyAllGenerated } from '../.lombok/src/point.lombok.js';
applyAllGenerated({ Point });

const p = new Point();
p.x = 1;
p.y = 2;
p.toString(); // Point(x=1, y=2)

Configuration

Global formatToString in lombok.config.ts (formats: pretty, json, compact) — see Configuration.

v0.1 limitations

• All non-excluded fields are included; @ToString.Exclude field filtering is planned for later phases.
• Included automatically when @Data is present on the same class.
