Spring Dynamic JPA

The Spring Dynamic JPA will make it easy to implement dynamic queries with JpaRepository.

How to use?

Install dependency

implementation 'com.github.joutvhu:spring-dynamic-jpa:3.1.8'
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.joutvhu</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-dynamic-jpa</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.8</version>
</dependency>
  • Please choose the Spring Dynamic JPA version appropriate with your spring version.

    Spring Boot version Spring Dynamic JPA version
    2.0.x.RELEASE 2.0.8
    2.1.x.RELEASE 2.1.8
    2.2.x.RELEASE 2.2.8
    2.3.x.RELEASE 2.3.8
    2.4.x 2.3.8
    2.5.x 2.3.8
    2.6.x 2.3.8
    2.7.x 2.7.8
    3.0.x 3.0.8
    3.1.x 3.1.8
    3.2.x 3.1.8

Also, you have to choose a Dynamic Query Template Provider to use, the Dynamic Query Template Provider will decide the style you write dynamic query template.

In this document, I will use Spring Dynamic Freemarker. If you migrated from a lower version, you should use it.

implementation 'com.github.joutvhu:spring-dynamic-freemarker:1.0.1'
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.joutvhu</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-dynamic-freemarker</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Configuration

  • First you need to create a bean of DynamicQueryTemplateProvider, that depending on which the Dynamic Query Template Provider you are using.
@Bean
public DynamicQueryTemplateProvider dynamicQueryTemplateProvider() {
    FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider provider = new FreemarkerQueryTemplateProvider();
    provider.setTemplateLocation("classpath:/query");
    provider.setSuffix(".dsql");
    return provider;
}
  • Next, you need to set the jpa repository's repositoryFactoryBeanClass property to DynamicJpaRepositoryFactoryBean.class.
// Config with annotation
@EnableJpaRepositories(repositoryFactoryBeanClass = DynamicJpaRepositoryFactoryBean.class)
<!-- Config with xml -->
<jpa:repositories repository-factory-bean-class="com.joutvhu.dynamic.jpa.support.DynamicJpaRepositoryFactoryBean"/>

Dynamic query

  • Methods annotated with @DynamicQuery tells DynamicJpaQueryLookupStrategy to know the content of the query is query template. It needs to parse the query template to query string before executing the query.
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
    @DynamicQuery(
        value = "select t from User t where t.firstName = :firstName\n" +
            "<#if lastName?has_content>\n" +
            "  and t.lastName = :lastName\n" +
            "</#if>"
    )
    List<User> findUserByNames(Long firstName, String lastName);

    @Query(value = "select t from User t where t.firstName = :firstName")
    List<User> findByFirstName(String firstName);

    List<User> findByLastName(String lastName);

    @DynamicQuery(
        value = "select USER_ID from USER\n" +
            "<#if name??>\n" +
            "  where concat(FIRST_NAME, ' ', LAST_NAME) like %:name%\n" +
            "</#if>",
        nativeQuery = true
    )
    List<Long> searchIdsByName(String name);

    @DynamicQuery(
        value = "select t from User t\n" +
            "<#if role??>\n" +
            "  where t.role = :role\n" +
            "</#if>",
        countQuery = "select count(t) from User t\n" +
            "<#if role??>\n" +
            "  where t.role = :role\n" +
            "</#if>"
    )
    Page<User> findByRole(String role, Pageable pageable);
}

Load query template files

  • If you do not specify the query template on the @DynamicQuery annotation. The DynamicQueryTemplateProvider will find them from external template files based on the TemplateLocation and Suffix that you specify in the provider.

  • If you don't want to load the template from external template files you can use the following code provider.setSuffix(null);.

  • Each template will start with a template name definition line. The template name definition line must be start with two dash characters (--). The template name will have the following syntax.

    queryMethodName[.queryType]
    
    • queryMethodName can be provided through field @DynamicQuery.name. If @DynamicQuery.name is not provided, queryMethodName will be entityName:methodName where entityName is entity class name, methodName is query method name

    • queryType corresponds to what query type of @DynamicQuery annotation.

    queryType DynamicQuery field
    empty DynamicQuery.value
    "count" DynamicQuery.countQuery
    "projection" DynamicQuery.countProjection
  • Query templates (Ex: resoucers/query/user-query.dsql)

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

-- User:searchIdsByName
select USER_ID from USER
<#if name??>
  where concat(FIRST_NAME, ' ', LAST_NAME) like %:name%
</#if>

-- User:findByRole
select t from User t
<#if role??>
  where t.role = :role
</#if>

-- User:findByRole.count
select count(t) from User t
<#if role??>
  where t.role = :role
</#if>

-- User:findByGroup
select t from User t
<#if group.name?starts_with("Git")>
  where t.groupId = :#{#group.id}
</#if>

-- get_user_by_username_and_email
select t from User t
<@where>
  <#if username??>
    and t.username = :username
  </#if>
  <#if email??>
    and t.email = :email
  </#if>
</@where>
  • Now you don't need to specify the query template on @DynamicQuery annotation.
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
    @DynamicQuery
    List<User> findUserByNames(Long firstName, String lastName);

    @Query(value = "select t from User t where t.firstName = :firstName")
    List<User> findByFirstName(String firstName);

    List<User> findByLastName(String lastName);

    @DynamicQuery(nativeQuery = true)
    List<Long> searchIdsByName(String name);

    @DynamicQuery
    Page<User> findByRole(String role, Pageable pageable);

    @DynamicQuery
    List<User> findByGroup(Group group);

    @DynamicQuery(name = "get_user_by_username_and_email")
    List<User> getUserWithUsernameAndEmail(String username, String email);
}
