Kotlin 如果不为空，则使用修改后的 Obj props 覆盖 Obj props

TL;DR:

如何减少冗余(任何有效的方法)？

if (personModification.firstName != null) {person.firstName = personModification.firstName}
if (personModification.lastName != null) {person.lastName = personModification.lastName}
if (personModification.job != null) {person.job = personModification.job}

The long version: I have a simple problem. I have a class Person:

class Person (val firstName: String?, 
              val lastName: String?, 
              val job: String?)

我有一门课叫PersonModification:

class PersonModification(val firstName: String?, 
                         val lastName: String?, 
                         val job: String?)

The task is to overwrite any Person property values with PersonModification values, IF the PersonModification property isn't null. If you care, the business logic behind this is an API endpoint which modifies Person and takes a PersonModification as an argument (but can change all, or any, of the properties, so we don't want to overwrite valid old values with nulls). The solution to this looks like this.

if (personModification.firstName != null) {person.firstName = personModification.firstName}
if (personModification.lastName != null) {person.lastName = personModification.lastName}
if (personModification.job != null) {person.job = personModification.job}

有人告诉我这是多余的(我同意).解决方案伪代码如下所示:

foreach(propName in personProps){
  if (personModification["propName"] != null) {person["propName"] = personModification["propName"]}
}

Of course, this isn't JavaScript, so it's not that easy. My reflection solution is below, but imo, it's better to have redundancy than do reflection here. What are my other options to remove the redundancy?

package kotlin.reflect;

class Person (val firstName: String?, 
              val lastName: String?, 
              val job: String?)

class PersonModification(val firstName: String?, 
                         val lastName: String?, 
                         val job: String?)

// Reflection - a bad solution. Impossible without it.

    val getterName = "get" + propertyName.capitalize()

    } catch (e: NoSuchMethodException) {

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

var person: Person = Person("Bob","Dylan","Artist")
val personModification: PersonModification = PersonModification("Jane","Smith","Placeholder")
val personClassPropertyNames = listOf("firstName", "lastName", "job")

for(properyName in personClassPropertyNames) {
    println(properyName)
    val currentValue = person.getThroughReflection<String>(properyName)
    val modifiedValue = personModification.getThroughReflection<String>(properyName)
    println(currentValue)
    if(modifiedValue != null){
        //Some packages or imports are missing for "output" and "it"
        val property = outputs::class.memberProperties.find { it.name == "firstName" }
        if (property is KMutableProperty<*>) {
            property.setter.call(person, "123")
        }
    }
})
}
