Interface SearchQueryHitTypeStep<N extends SearchQueryOptionsStep<?,E,?,?>,R,E,PJF extends SearchProjectionFactory<R,E>,PDF extends SearchPredicateFactory>

Type Parameters:

N - The next step if no type of hits is explicitly selected, i.e. if SearchQueryPredicateStep.predicate(SearchPredicate) or SearchQueryPredicateStep.predicate(Function) is called directly without calling asEntity(), or asEntityReference(), asProjection(SearchProjection) or a similar method.

R - The type of entity references, i.e. the type of hits returned by reference queries, or the type of objects returned for entity reference projections.

E - The type of entities, i.e. the type of hits returned by entity queries, or the type of objects returned for entity projections.

PJF - The type of factory used to create projections in asProjection(Function).

PDF - The type of factory used to create predicates in SearchQueryPredicateStep.predicate(Function).

public interface SearchQueryHitTypeStep<N extends SearchQueryOptionsStep<?,E,?,?>,R,E,PJF extends SearchProjectionFactory<R,E>,PDF extends SearchPredicateFactory>
extends SearchQueryPredicateStep<N,E,PDF>

The initial step in a query definition, where the type of query hits can be set, or where the predicate can be set directly, assuming that query hits are returned as entities.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,E,?>	asEntity() Define the query results as the entity was originally indexed, loaded from an external source (database, ...).
SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,R,?>	asEntityReference() Define the query results as a reference to the entity that was originally indexed.
<P> SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,P,?>	asProjection(Function<? super PJF,? extends ProjectionFinalStep<P>> projectionContributor) Define the query results as one projection for each matching document.
<P> SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,P,?>	asProjection(SearchProjection<P> projection) Define the query results as one projection for each matching document.
SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,List<?>,?>	asProjections(SearchProjection<?>... projections) Define the query results as a list of projections for each matching document.
<T> T	extension(SearchQueryDslExtension<T,R,E> extension) Extend the current DSL step with the given extension, resulting in an extended step offering more query options.

Method Detail

asEntity

SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,E,?> asEntity()

Define the query results as the entity was originally indexed, loaded from an external source (database, ...).

Returns:

The next step.

See Also:

SearchQueryPredicateStep

asEntityReference

SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,R,?> asEntityReference()

Define the query results as a reference to the entity that was originally indexed.

Returns:

The next step.

See Also:

SearchQueryPredicateStep

asProjection

<P> SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,P,?> asProjection(Function<? super PJF,? extends ProjectionFinalStep<P>> projectionContributor)

Define the query results as one projection for each matching document.

Type Parameters:

P - The resulting type of the projection.

Parameters:

projectionContributor - A function that will use the factory passed in parameter to create a projection, returning the final step in the projection DSL. Should generally be a lambda expression.

Returns:

The next step.

See Also:

SearchQueryPredicateStep

asProjection

<P> SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,P,?> asProjection(SearchProjection<P> projection)

Define the query results as one projection for each matching document.

Type Parameters:

P - The resulting type of the projection.

Parameters:

projection - A previously-created SearchProjection object.

Returns:

The next step.

See Also:

SearchQueryPredicateStep

asProjections

SearchQueryPredicateStep<?,List<?>,?> asProjections(SearchProjection<?>... projections)

Define the query results as a list of projections for each matching document.

Note that using this method will force you to use casts when consuming the results, since the returned lists are not typed (List<?> instead of List<T>). You can replace calls to this method advantageously with calls to asProjection(Function) defining a composite projection.

Parameters:

projections - A list of previously-created SearchProjection objects.

Returns:

The next step.

See Also:

SearchProjectionFactory.composite(BiFunction, SearchProjection, SearchProjection), SearchQueryPredicateStep

extension

<T> T extension(SearchQueryDslExtension<T,R,E> extension)

Extend the current DSL step with the given extension, resulting in an extended step offering more query options.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of DSL step provided by the extension.

Parameters:

extension - The extension to the query DSL.

Returns:

The extended DSL step.

Throws:

SearchException - If the extension cannot be applied (wrong underlying backend, ...).
