Spring Data Documents: Building typesafe queries / QueryDSL?

[ractive]

Hello everyone

I'm currently using mongoTemplate with queries like this one:

Query q= new Query(where("parentId").is(parentId).and("dateTime").gte(start).lt(end));

I'd really like to have a safe way to create such queries, without having to use strings to identify properties (like "dateTime"). I saw that querydsl allows to generate "query types" of annotated entities to avoid such string magic.

Are there similar concepts within spring-data-document? Or is there a way to use the query types or even the queries of querydsl with mongoTemplate?



Best regards,
James

Currently Querydsl is supported on the repository level only. See [0] for documentation.

Thank you. I'll try it out.

Hey All

Is the QueryDSL still only avaible via the repository if so. What class should I start with to build it up to using in a standard DAO which uses a mongoTemplate?

Thanks
