yawp-preprocessor

This is an annotation preprocessor that allows for a better and type-safer approach for queries.

Instead of using unsafe and dangerous strings to represent field names, just add this dependency and enums will be generated for all your @Endpoint models with constants for each field.

This will allow you to use a much better API:

    List<Person> people = query(Person.class).where(PersonFields.NAME, Op.EQ, "Luan").list();

The where method only accepts the enum for the specified class. How does it work? The query method is static to the new SafeYawp class, that replaces the old Yawp one.

Every method then becomes type safe using this feature. Of course the old one keeps being avaliable to use, but you should then avoid it. Importing io.yawp.SafeYawp.* statically will help you use the new approach.

A complete example:

	package yawpapp.models.person;

	import java.util.List;

	import io.yawp.commons.http.annotation.GET;
	import io.yawp.repository.actions.Action;
	import io.yawp.repository.query.Op;

	import static io.yawp.SafeYawp.*;

	public class PersonAction extends Action<Person> {

	    @GET("dummy")
	    public List<Person> dummy() {
	        return query(Person.class).where(PersonFields.NAME, Op.EQ, "Luan").list();
	    }

	}
