I am trying to implement an API endpoint where a user can request required columns from the API
Basically, this is what I want: This is my products table entity
@Entity
@Table(name ="products")
class product{
private Long id;
private String itemName;
private String itemDesc;
private double quantity;
private double purchaseRate;
private double saleRate;
private double onlineSaleRate;
.
.
.
constructor()
getter & setter
}
***And my endpoint is: localhost:8080/api/v1/products
Requirement: I want to write an api endpoint where i request columns based on requirementsa and get those as response
Example: If i only need - itemName, itemPrice and quantity i'll return those as response only. if some user has requirement of itemName, purchaseRate, saleRate, quantity he will get those as a response only.
Right now i am writing new endpoints as per requirements, but i think there is some way to do this.
I want to implement this in my application, i tried google for this but there is no search query that is resulting me as per my requirement.
Create a class with all the fields of your entity with the field types of nullable boxed Boolean (for the purpose of the request json).
class ProductColumns {
private Boolean itemName;
private Boolean itemDesc;
...
// setters and getters
}
Then, to construct a custom response, you can use a java Map to acheive this:
public ResponseEntity<Object> getFilteredColumns(ProductColumns columns) {
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
if (columns.getItemName() == true) {
map.put("itemName", [your repo/service method for getting the particular value]);
}
if (columns.getItemDesc() == true) {
map.put("itemDesc", your repo/service method for getting the particular value]);
}
...
return ResponseEntity<Object>(map, HttpStatus.OK);
}
Of course you should wrap it in some try-catch
to your liking.
