BeanMapper Spring Boot Starter

Spring boot starter/autoconfig project for Beanmapper

• For more information about BeanMapper: http://beanmapper.io
• The BeanMapper-Spring project: https://github.com/42BV/beanmapper-spring

Features

Auto-configures a BeamMapper instance and adds it as a spring bean to the ApplicationContext. All custom implementations of BeanConverter found in the application's packages are instantiated and added to the BeanMapper.
A MergedFormMethodArgumentResolver is instantiated and added to the already configured Spring MVC argument resolvers.

Usage

Add this maven dependency to your project and you can start wiring the BeanMapper instance:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.beanmapper</groupId>
    <artifactId>beanmapper-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Customization

1. By default, the package of the @SpringBootApplication annotated class will be used as root where BeanMapper will look for classes to convert and where it will search for implementors of BeanConverter to instantiate and configure. If you want to override this package, add the beanmapper.package-prefix=<custom-root-package> property to the application environment.
2. If you do not want to make use of the HibernateAwareUnproxy feature, add beanmapper.use-hibernate-unproxy=false to the application environment.
3. If you want full control over the BeanMapper configuration, add a bean of type BeanMapperBuilderCustomizer to the application context:

@Bean
public BeanMapperBuilderCustomizer beanMapperCustomizer() {
    return builder -> {
        // After the autoconfiguration is done with the BeanMapperBuilder,
        // control over this builder is passed to this callback just before build()
        // is called to create the BeanMapper.
    };
}
