Spring Dynamic Freemarker

A Dynamic Query Template Provider base on Apache FreeMarker template engine.

You can refer to Freemarker Document to know more about rules. Use Online FreeMarker Template Tester with tagSyntax = angleBracket and interpolationSyntax = dollar to test your query template.

Using

You need to configure a FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider bean to use this template provider.

@Bean
public DynamicQueryTemplateProvider dynamicQueryTemplateProvider() {
    FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider provider = new FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider();
    provider.setEncoding("UTF-8");
    provider.setTemplateLocation("classpath:/query");
    provider.setSuffix(".dsql");
    return provider;
}

The FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider has the following parameters:

  • setTemplateLocation: in case you do not specify the query template on the @DynamicQuery annotation, the provider will find it from external template files. The TemplateLocation Is location you put the external template files, default is classpath:/query
  • setSuffix: is the suffix of the external template files, default is .dsql. If you don't want the provider to load external templates then set this value to null.
  • setEncoding: is the encoding of templates, default is UTF-8
  • setConfiguration: is a FreemarkerTemplateConfiguration, used to customize Freemarker configuration.

Each template in external template file will start with a template name definition line. The template name definition line must be start with two dash characters (--).

Directives

Where Directive

@where directive knows to only insert WHERE if there is any content returned by the containing tags. Furthermore, if that content begins or ends with AND or OR, it knows to strip it off.

select t from User t
<@where>
  <#if firstName?has_content>
    and t.firstName = :firstName
  </#if>
  <#if lastName?has_content>
    and t.lastName = :lastName
  </#if>
</@where>

Set Directive

@set directive is like the @where directive, it removes the commas if it appears at the begins or ends of the content. Also, it will insert SET if the content is not empty.

update User t
<@set>
  <#if firstName?has_content>
    t.firstName = :firstName,
  </#if>
  <#if lastName?has_content>
    t.lastName = :lastName,
  </#if>
</@set>
where t.userId = :userId

Trim Directive

@trim directive has four parameters: prefix, prefixOverrides, suffix, suffixOverrides.

  • prefix is the string value that will be inserted at the start of the content if it is not empty, value type is string.
  • prefixOverrides are values that will be removed if they are at the start of a content, value type is list of strings.
  • suffix is the string value that will be inserted at the end of the content if it is not empty, value type is string.
  • suffixOverrides are values that will be removed if they are at the end of a content, value type is list of strings.
<@trim prefix="where (" prefixOverrides=["and ", "or "] suffix=")" suffixOverrides=[" and", " or"]>
 <#if productName?has_content>
   t.productName = :productName or
 </#if>
 <#if category?has_content>
   t.category = :category or
 </#if>
</@trim>
