public interface Populator<P>
A populator knows how to copy properties between POJO objects and the native datastore representation. Unlike a translator, it doesn't create the POJO or container.
P is the pojo type.

Method Details
-
load
Loads the content of the specified datastore node into an existing POJO.
- Parameters:
node
- is the part of the native datastore entity tree we are transforming.ctx
- holds state information during an entity load.path
- is the current path to this POJO
-
save
void save(P pojo, boolean index, SaveContext ctx, Path path, com.google.cloud.datastore.FullEntity.Builder<?> into) Saves data from the POJO into the entity builder.- Parameters:
pojo
- is an object from the pojo entity graph; possibly the whole graph or possibly just a leaf field.index
- is whether the instruction so far is to index or not index property valuespath
- is the path that we have taken to get here, which could be long due to re-entrant translators (ie, an embedded pojo that also has a reference to the same class).
