Query Dynamic Entities

BookTable table = BookTable.$;

List<Book> books = sqlClient
.createQuery(table)
.where(table.name().eq("Learning GraphQL"))
.orderBy(table.edition().desc())
.select(
table.fetch(
BookFetcher.$
.allScalarFields()
.authors(
AuthorFetcher.$
.allScalarFields()
)
)
)
.execute();

The result is

[
{
"id":3,
"name":"Learning GraphQL",
"edition":3,
"price":51,
"authors":[
{
"id":2,
"firstName":"Alex",
"lastName":"Banks",
"gender":"MALE"
},
{
"id":1,
"firstName":"Eve",
"lastName":"Procello",
"gender":"FEMALE"
}
]
},
{
"id":2,
"name":"Learning GraphQL",
"edition":2,
"price":55,
"authors":[
{
"id":2,
"firstName":"Alex",
"lastName":"Banks",
"gender":"MALE"
},

Query Static DTO

Create any file with the dto extension under the src/main/dto folder, and edit the code as follows:

export com.yourcompany.yourproject.model.Book
-> package com.yourcompany.yourproject.model.dto

BookView {
#allScalars(this)
authors {
#allScalars(this)
}
}

Compile the project, a java/kotlin class named BookView will be automatically generated.

BookTable table = BookTable.$;

List<BookView> books = sqlClient
.createQuery(table)
.where(table.name().eq("Learning GraphQL"))
.orderBy(table.edition().desc())
.select(
table.fetch(BookView.class)
)
.execute();

The result is

[
