NamedDomainObjectSet - Gradle DSL Version 8.11

# NamedDomainObjectSet

API Documentation: | `NamedDomainObjectSet`

Known Subtypes: |
`NamedDomainObjectContainer`
`TaskCollection`
`ReportContainer`

A specialization of `NamedDomainObjectCollection` that also implements `Set` and orders objects by their inherent name.

All object equality is determined in terms of object names. That is, calling `remove()` with an object that is NOT equal to an existing object in terms of `equals`, but IS in terms of name equality will result in the existing collection item with the equal name being removed.

You can create an instance of this type using the factory method `ObjectFactory.namedDomainObjectSet(java.lang.Class)`.

### Methods

Method | Description
`getByName(name)` | Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object.
`getByName(name, configureClosure)` | Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object. The given configure closure is executed against the object before it is returned from this method. The object is passed to the closure as its delegate.
`getByName(name, configureAction)` | Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from this method.
`named(name)` | Locates a object by name, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object.
`named(name, type)` | Locates a object by name and type, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object.
`named(name, type, configurationAction)` | Locates a object by name and type, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from the provider.
`named(name, configurationAction)` | Locates a object by name, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from the provider.
`named(nameFilter)` | Incubating Returns a collection containing the objects with names matching the provided filter. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection. This method will NOT cause any pending objects in this container to be realized.

Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object. The given configure closure is executed against the object before it is returned from this method. The object is passed to the closure as its delegate.

#### `T` `getByName`(`String` name, ``Action`<? super `T`>` configureAction)

Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from this method.

#### ``NamedDomainObjectProvider`<`T`>` `named`(`String` name)

Locates a object by name, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object.

#### ``NamedDomainObjectProvider`<`S`>` `named`(`String` name, ``Class`<`S`>` type)

Locates a object by name and type, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object.

#### ``NamedDomainObjectProvider`<`S`>` `named`(`String` name, ``Class`<`S`>` type, ``Action`<? super `S`>` configurationAction)

Locates a object by name and type, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from the provider.

#### ``NamedDomainObjectProvider`<`T`>` `named`(`String` name, ``Action`<? super `T`>` configurationAction)

Locates a object by name, without triggering its creation or configuration, failing if there is no such object. The given configure action is executed against the object before it is returned from the provider.

#### ``NamedDomainObjectCollection`<`T`>` `named`(``Spec`<`String`>` nameFilter)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Returns a collection containing the objects with names matching the provided filter. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection. This method will NOT cause any pending objects in this container to be realized.
