DataTableType

public DataTableType(Class<T> type,
                     TableTransformer<T> transformer)

Creates a data table type that transforms the whole table to a single object.

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the object

transformer - a function that creates an instance of type from the data table

DataTableType

public DataTableType(Class<T> type,
                     TableRowTransformer<T> transformer)

Creates a data table type that transforms the rows of the table into a list of objects.

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the list items

transformer - a function that creates an instance of type from the data table row

DataTableType

public DataTableType(Class<T> type,
                     TableEntryTransformer<T> transformer)

Creates a data table type that transforms the entries of the table into a list of objects. An entry consists of the elements of the table header paired with the values of each subsequent row.

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the list items

transformer - a function that creates an instance of type from the data table entry

DataTableType

public DataTableType(Class<T> type,
                     TableCellTransformer<T> transformer)

Creates a data table type that transforms the cells of the table into a list of list of objects.

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the list of lists items

transformer - a function that creates an instance of type from the data table cell

Method Detail

entry

public static <T> DataTableType entry(Class<T> type)

Creates a data table type that transforms an entry into an object, using Jackson Databind internally. The class must have an empty constructor. There must be public fields or setters matching the table headers.

Jackson annotations will be ignored. If you need those, write your own transformer.

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the entry

cell

public static <T> DataTableType cell(Class<T> type)

Creates a data table type that transforms individual cells to another type, using Jackson Databind internally.

The class must satisfy one of the following:

• String constructor
• static fromString method
• static valueOf method

Type Parameters:

T - see type

Parameters:

type - the type of the cell

transform

public Object transform(List<List<String>> raw)

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
