Constructor for a class, that accepts name-value pairs for setting properties

18 views (last 30 days)
Hello! Could anyone advise on how to write a class constructor, that accepts name-value pairs for setting properties? For the untouched properties it must use predefined values. Using like this:
X = classX('Prop1',val1,'Prop3',val3)
Thanks

With a recent Matlab version, you can do,
classdef classX
properties
Prop1, Prop3;
end
methods
function obj=classX(namedArgs)
arguments
namedArgs.Prop1=default1;
namedArgs.Prop3=default3;
end
obj.Prop1=namedArgs.Prop1;
obj.Prop3=namedArgs.Prop3;
end
end
end
