jQuery QueryBuilder meets JOOQ without the work.
What is jQuery QueryBuilder?
jqb is a super handy library for your website that allow for the creation of queries and filters.
What is JOOQ?
To shamelessly steal their tagline "JOOQ: The easiest way to write SQL in Java". This sentiment I agree with completely. The JOOQ library provides a typesafe way to execute queries and is an absolute joy to use.
This project aims to be the glue between these two awesome products. jqb2jooq provides the means of defining a mapping from jQuery QueryBuilder filter fields to JOOQ auto-generated fields. Once you define this mapping jqb2jooq will handle the conversion of QueryBuilder json to a JOOQ condition, ready to be included in your JOOQ query.
Getting started is just as easy as the famed 5 Minute Wordpress Install (only you don't have to use Wordpress 😏).
First, add the following dependency to your pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.kowalski</groupId>
<artifactId>jqb2jooq</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3</version>
</dependency>Second, you will need to define a mapping between jqb filter fields and JOOQ fields.
This is done by creating an enum that implements RuleTarget.java.
package io.kowalski.jqb2jooq.test;
import io.kowalski.jqb2jooq.RuleTarget;
import org.jooq.Condition;
import org.jooq.Field;
import static io.kowalski.jqb2jooq.test.jooq.Tables.*;
public enum TestFilterTargets implements RuleTarget {
FULLNAME(EMPLOYEES.FULLNAME),
DOB(EMPLOYEES.DOB),
SALARY(PAYROLL.AMOUNT, PAYROLL.TYPE.eq("SALARY")),
HOURLY(PAYROLL.AMOUNT, PAYROLL.TYPE.eq("HOURLY")),
FOOD(EMPLOYEES.FAVORITE_FOOD);
private final Field field;
private final Condition[] implicitConditions;
TestFilterTargets(Field field, Condition... implicitConditions) {
this.field = field;
this.implicitConditions = implicitConditions;
}
@Override
public TestFilterTargets parse(String value) {
return TestFilterTargets.valueOf(value);
}
@Override
public Field getField() {
return field;
}
@Override
public Condition[] getImplicitConditions() {
return implicitConditions;
}
}Last, but not least, you need to convert the json filter from jqb to a JOOQ condition.
jqb2jooq assumes that the json filter has been deserialized into:
Map<String, Object>Here is a quick snippet of how to perform said task with gson.
java.lang.reflect.Type mapType = new com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken<Map<String, Object>>()
{}.getType();
Map<String, Object> filterMap = new Gson().fromJson(rawJson, mapType);Once you have the filter deserialized all you have to do is...
org.jooq.Condition condition = JQB2JOOQ.parse(TestFilterTargets.class, filterMap);
// ...and immediately put it to work
try (DSLContext dsl = DSL.using(dataSource, SQLDialect.H2)) {
List<Employees> employees = dsl.select().from(EMPLOYEES)
.where(condition).fetchInto(Employees.class);
}I hope you enjoy using jqb2jooq! If you notice anything funky please file an issue. ❤️
