Annotation Type Transpose

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=PARAMETER)
public @interface Transpose

This annotation can be specified on step definition method parameters to give Cucumber a hint to transpose a DataTable into an object or list of objects. For example, if you have the following Gherkin step with a table

 Given the user is
    | firstname | Roberto       |
    | lastname  | Lo Giacco |
    | nationality       | Italian       |
 

Then the following Java Step Definition would convert that into an User object:

 @Given("^the user is$")
 public void the_user_is(@Transpose User user) {
     this.user = user;
 }
 

This annotation also works for data tables that are transformed to a list of beans.
