Sakura Boot — mapper

Conversion between entity and DTO

The mapper module helps to create mappers and convert between entities and DTOs.

Convention over code

For all the classes inherited from the mapper module class or interface, only a few lines of code are required. All the defaults are defined in the module class itself.

For example, to add automatic conversion between entities and DTOs on a basic service, it is only necessary to implement the Mapper interface. And provide the mapper. The mapper can be easily created using the BasicMapper interface.

Mapstruct is recommended for this module, but it can be used with or without any mapper framework.

Lombok can be used to help reduce the boilerplate code and remove a lot of necessary code but needs to be used carefully, see Lombok

It is possible to add custom logic or modify the default behavior if necessary.

Getting started

For new users of the framework the Quickstart page will help create a simple application using the mapper module.

For more details on the installation instructions, see Installation.
