Conveyor

Generate dtos from annotations.

Why?

There are a lot of dto mapping libraries out there, so why create another one? Conveyor was created to support the special needs of SCM-Manager. For SCM-Manager we wanted a library which support the following features:

• Simple to use
• As little boilerplate code as possible
• Support of _links and _embedded of HAL
• Support views to keep our OpenAPI documentation clean
• Copy annotations from source entity

So we decided to create another dto mapping library.

Usage

@GenerateDto
public class Person {

  @Include
  private String firstName;
  @Include
  private String lastName;
  
  // constructor, getter and setter
}

Conveyor will automatically create a PersonDto class, which can be used as follows:

Person person = new Person("Tricia", "McMillan");

Links links = Links.linkingTo()
  .self("/people/trillian")
  .build();

PersonDto dto = PersonDto.from(person, links);
