      • transform

        <T,​K> K transform​(T sourceObj,
                        Class<? extends K> targetClass)
        Copies all properties from an object to a new one.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the Source object type
        K - the target object type
        Parameters:
        sourceObj - the source object
        targetClass - the destination object class
        Returns:
        a copy of the source object into the destination object
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is invalid

      • withFieldMapping

        Transformer withFieldMapping​(FieldMapping... fieldMapping)
        Initializes the mapping between fields in the source object and the destination one.
        Parameters:
        fieldMapping - the field mapping
        Returns:
        the Transformer instance

      • removeFieldMapping

        void removeFieldMapping​(String destFieldName)
        Removes the field mapping for the given field.
        Parameters:
        destFieldName - the field name in the destination object

      • resetFieldsMapping

        void resetFieldsMapping()
        Removes all the configured fields mapping.

      • withFieldTransformer

        Transformer withFieldTransformer​(FieldTransformer... fieldTransformer)
        Initializes the field transformer functions. The transformer function returns directly the field value.
        Parameters:
        fieldTransformer - the fields transformer function
        Returns:
        the Transformer instance

      • removeFieldTransformer

        void removeFieldTransformer​(String destFieldName)
        Removes the field transformer for the given field.
        Parameters:
        destFieldName - the field name in the destination object

      • resetFieldsTransformer

        void resetFieldsTransformer()
        Removes all the configured fields transformer.

      • setDefaultValueForMissingField

        Transformer setDefaultValueForMissingField​(boolean useDefaultValue)
        It allows to configure the transformer in order to set a default value in case some field is missing in the source object. If set to true the default value is set, if false if it raises a: MissingFieldException in case of missing fields.
        Parameters:
        useDefaultValue - true in case the default value should be set, false if it should raise a: MissingFieldException in case of missing field.
        Returns:
        the Transformer instance
