Dynamically Query from List or two different entities












1















I have an entity called Person, inside that basic metadata, then inside that Tag and Language. I want to get all rows that contain specific tag name and language.
I came to know about Criteria Query about. How can we interlink two different entities together?



Example: Get all rows having the tag as Model and language as English.



@Entity
public Person {
@Id
private String id;
private BasicMetadata basicMetadata;
-----------
}


Basic Metadata table



@Entity
public BasicMetadata {
@Id
private String id;
private List<Tag> tags;
private List<Language> language;
-------------
}


Tag Table



@Entity
public Tag {
@Id
private String id;
private String name;
-------------


}



Language Table



@Entity
public Language{
@Id
private String id;
private String name;
-------------


}



I created a simple method for specification Query is that correct



 private Specification<Person> containsText(String keyword) {
return (root,query, builder) -> {
String finalText = keyword.toLowerCase();
if (!finalText.contains("%")) {
finalText = "%" + finalText + "%";
}
Predicate genreExp = builder.like(builder.lower(root.get("basicMetadata").get("tags")), finalText);
return builder.or(genreExp);
};

          you can write your specification like this



          public class PersonSpecifications {

          public static Specification<Person> hasTag(String keyword) {
          return (root, query, builder) -> {
          String finalText = keyword.toLowerCase();
          if (!finalText.contains("%")) {
          finalText = "%" + finalText + "%";
          }
          Join<Person, BasicMetaData> md = root.join("basicMetaData");
          return builder.like(builder.lower(md.join("tags").get("name")), finalText);
          }
          }
          }


          and you can use this specification to get the filtered results like this



           repository.findAll(PersonSpecifications. hasTag("abc"),PageRequest,of(0,10));
