Method Details

convertToJavaType

<T> T convertToJavaType(QilletniType qilletniType,
 Class<T> clazz)

Convert a Java object to a QilletniType object.

Type Parameters:

T - The new type of the object

Parameters:

qilletniType - The object to convert

clazz - The class of the object to convert to

Returns:

The converted object

convertToQilletniType

QilletniType convertToQilletniType(Object object)

Convert a QilletniType object to a Java object. If it's already a QilletniType object, it will be returned as is.

Parameters:

object - The object to convert

Returns:

The converted object

convertToQilletniTypes

List<QilletniType> convertToQilletniTypes(List<Object> objects)

Converts a list of Java objects to a list of QilletniType objects. Useful for parameter conversions.

Parameters:

objects - The list of objects to convert

Returns:

The converted QilletniType objects

convertFromRecordToEntity

EntityType convertFromRecordToEntity(String entityName,
 Object object)

Takes a Java record and converts it to a Qilletni entity. The entity's constructor must be in the same order as the record's fields.

Parameters:

entityName - The name of the entity to create

object - The Java record

Returns:

The created Qilletni entity

convertFromEntityToRecord

<T> T convertFromEntityToRecord(EntityType entity,
 Class<T> clazz)

Takes a Qilletni entity and converts it to a Java record. The record's field names must be the same as the entity's properties. A Java record may have a Qilletni private field mapped without the prefixing underscore, however it should be noted that entities with two properties of the same name but with and without the underscore (e.g. x and _x) it will not work well.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the record

Parameters:

entity - The Qilletni entity to convert

clazz - The class of the record to create

Returns:

The created Java record
