Is it possible to automatically generate a parameterless constructor for a data class in Kotlin?

In Kotlin, a data class automatically generates a constructor that takes all properties declared in the primary constructor. However, if you want a parameterless constructor (default constructor), it is not generated automatically if the primary constructor has parameters without default values.

To get a parameterless constructor, you can:

• Provide default values for all primary constructor parameters:

data class User(val name: String = "", val age: Int = 0)

Now, you can create a User() object without parameters.

• Or, add an additional parameterless constructor manually:

data class User(val name: String, val age: Int) {
    constructor() : this("", 0)
}

Thus, automatic generation of a parameterless constructor for data class is only possible when all parameters have default values.
