Interface SelectDSLCompleter

All Superinterfaces:
Function<QueryExpressionDSL<SelectModel>, Buildable<SelectModel>>
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface SelectDSLCompleter extends Function<QueryExpressionDSL<SelectModel>, Buildable<SelectModel>>
Represents a function that can be used to create a general select method. When using this function, you can create a method that does not require a user to call the build() and render() methods - making client code look a bit cleaner.

This function is intended to by used in conjunction with utility methods like the select methods in MyBatis3Utils.

For example, you can create mapper interface methods like this: 

@SelectProvider(type=SqlProviderAdapter.class, method="select")
List<PersonRecord> selectMany(SelectStatementProvider selectStatement);

BasicColumn[] selectList =
    BasicColumn.columnList(id, firstName, lastName, birthDate, employed, occupation, addressId);

default List<PersonRecord> select(SelectDSLCompleter completer) {
     return MyBatis3Utils.select(this::selectMany, selectList, person, completer);
}

And then call the simplified default method like this: 

List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(c ->
        c.where(occupation, isNull()));

You can implement a "select all" with the following code: 

List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(c -> c);

Or 

List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(SelectDSLCompleter.allRows());

There is also a utility method to support selecting all rows in a specified order: 

List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(SelectDSLCompleter.allRowsOrderedBy(lastName, firstName));
