Adding @QuerydslPredicate to a parameter within SpringMVC Controller when having registered the QueryDslPredicateArgumentResolver allows to generate a Querydsl Predicate based on the request parameters.
Parameters will be converted into their corresponding property types before using the as predicate value. Given more than one attribute will connect those using 'and'. Collections of values will force usage of 'in' while single values on collection like properties result in 'contains'.
The base type for building the Querydsl Path is extracted from the methods return type. In case of non domain type return values it can optionally be specified via @QueydslPredicate(root = …). Specific Predicate conversions can be registered via '@QuerydslSpecification'.
This allows to sneak in specific property path handlings more easily.
new QueryDslPredicateSpecification() {
{
define(new StringPath("address.city"), (path, value) -> path.like(value.toString()));
}
};
Renamed resolver, accessor etc. to express operation of binding properties to a resolved path and introduced explicit binding context which allows reuse of predicate builder within the ArgumentResolver.
Added registration of QuerydslPredicateArgumentResolver directly in SpringDataWebConfiguration reusing the provided ConversionService.
Added Javadoc and changed visibility of non public API and types.
