Interface FieldResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:
DTOAwareFieldResolver, EntityAwareFieldResolver
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface FieldResolver
Strategy for resolving API-facing selector paths into concrete entity paths.

Implementations encapsulate the path-resolution rules for a particular query contract, such as direct entity-field access or DTO-to-entity mapping. They also expose a hook for validating the resolved terminal field before the final path is returned to the caller.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method

    String
    resolvePathAndValidateTerminalField(String path, Consumer<Field> terminalFieldValidator)
    Resolves the supplied selector path, validates the resolved terminal field, and returns the corresponding path understood by downstream query builders.

  • Method Details

    • resolvePathAndValidateTerminalField
