Spring Generation plugin

Summary

Plugin allows to generate model to dto converts in kotlin.

This open source plugin can help you to generate a lot of converters code in kotlin.

It uses org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter to define converters and matches field names from one model to other.

Advantages

Here are some of the advantages of this plugin:

• You can generate converters on the way.
• You don't need to waste time and do monkey coding
• Generated converters works faster in 5-7 times than converters on reflection

Usage example

Image you have dto ann model

data class TestDto(
    val param: String,
    val param1: String
)

data class Test(
    val param: String,
    val param1: String
)

Next you can generate converters on the fly:

1. Click right button on the TestDto and choose "Transform In Model"
2. Than click right button on Test and choose "Transform From Model"
3. Choose package where to generate in project tree and right click on directory and choose "Generate converters"

Yahoo and you get the result:

package converters.test

import org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter
import model.Test
import model.TestDto

object TestDtoConverter: Converter<Test, TestDto> {
    override fun convert(source: Test): TestDto {
        return TestDto(
            param = source.param,
            param1 = source.param1
        )
    }   
}
