Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<S,T> T	map(S source)	Executes a transformation on the given object.
<S,T> T	map(S source, Class<T> target)	Executes a transformation on the given object.
void	withContext(Runnable runnable)	Creates a context in which one can run multiple transformations.
void	withContext(Collection<ProvidedMapping> contextElements, Runnable runnable)	Creates a context in which one can run multiple transformations.

Method Detail

map

<S,T> T map(S source)

Executes a transformation on the given object. This will use the first matching transformation that was configured using configure().

Parameters:

source - The object to transform

Returns:

The result of the transformation

map

<S,T> T map(S source,
                  Class<T> target)

Executes a transformation on the given object. This, in comparison to map(S), makes sure that the type of the target is the provided type. This is necessary if there are two transformations configured for the same source but with different targets.

Parameters:

source - The object to transform

target - The specific type of the target

Returns:

The result of the transformation

withContext

void withContext(Runnable runnable)

Creates a context in which one can run multiple transformations. Inside this context, transformed objects will be cached and reused. Once a context is over, this cache will be emptied, thus resulting in new objects being created.

Parameters:

runnable - Callback for running the transformations

withContext

void withContext(Collection<ProvidedMapping> contextElements,
                 Runnable runnable)

Creates a context in which one can run multiple transformations. Inside this context, transformed objects will be cached and reused. Once a context is over, this cache will be emptied, thus resulting in new objects being created. Additionally, this allows for providing a set of already finished transformations that will be inserted into the cache. This can be used to inject predefined references to objects for given objects. Similarly, these will also be cleared once the context is over.

Parameters:

contextElements - Predefined set of transformations that should be inserted into the context

runnable - Callback for running the transformations
