Class ExtractedTextFormatter.Builder

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.ai.reader.ExtractedTextFormatter.Builder
Enclosing class:
ExtractedTextFormatter
public static class ExtractedTextFormatter.Builder extends Object
The Builder class is a nested static class of ExtractedTextFormatter designed to facilitate the creation and customization of instances of ExtractedTextFormatter.

It allows for a step-by-step, fluent construction of the ExtractedTextFormatter, by providing methods to set specific configurations such as left alignment of text, the number of top lines or bottom lines to delete, and the number of top pages to skip before deletion. Each configuration method in the builder returns the builder instance itself, enabling method chaining.

By default, the builder sets:
  • Left alignment to false
  • Number of top pages to skip before deletion to 0
  • Number of top text lines to delete to 0
  • Number of bottom text lines to delete to 0

After configuring the builder, calling the build() method will return a new instance of ExtractedTextFormatter with the specified configurations.

    • build

      public ExtractedTextFormatter build()
      Constructs and returns an instance of ExtractedTextFormatter using the configurations set on this builder.

      This method uses the values set on the builder to initialize the configuration for the ExtractedTextFormatter instance. If no values are explicitly set on the builder, the defaults specified in the builder are used.

      It's recommended to use this method only once per builder instance to ensure that each ExtractedTextFormatter object is configured as intended.

      Returns:
      a new instance of ExtractedTextFormatter configured with the values set on this builder.
