EntityClass

abstract class EntityClass<ID : Comparable<ID>, out T : Entity<ID>>(val table: IdTable<ID>, entityType: Class<T>? = null, entityCtor: (EntityID<ID>) -> T? = null)

Base class responsible for the management of Entity instances and the maintenance of their relation to the provided table.

Parameters

table

The IdTable object that stores rows mapped to entities managed by this class.

entityType

The expected Entity class type. This can be left null if it is the class of type argument T provided to this EntityClass instance.

entityCtor

The function invoked to instantiate an Entity using a provided EntityID value. If a reference to a specific entity constructor or a custom function is not passed as an argument, reflection will be used to determine the primary constructor of the associated entity class on first access (which can be slower).

open fun all(): SizedIterable<T>

Gets all the Entity instances associated with this EntityClass.

Link copied to clipboard

Registers a reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a child object of this EntityClass.

fun count(op: Op<Boolean>? = null): Long

Counts the amount of Entity instances that conform to the op conditional expression.

Link copied to clipboard

Gets all the Entity instances that conform to the op conditional expression.

Link copied to clipboard
fun findById(id: ID): T?

Gets an Entity by its id value.

open fun findById(id: EntityID<ID>): T?

Gets an Entity by its EntityID value.

Link copied to clipboard
fun findByIdAndUpdate(id: ID, block: (it: T) -> Unit): T?

Gets an Entity by its id value and updates the retrieved entity.

Link copied to clipboard
fun findSingleByAndUpdate(op: Op<Boolean>, block: (it: T) -> Unit): T?

Gets a single Entity that conforms to the op conditional expression and updates the retrieved entity.

Link copied to clipboard
fun findWithCacheCondition(cacheCheckCondition: T.() -> Boolean, op: SqlExpressionBuilder.() -> Op<Boolean>): Sequence<T>

fun <ID : Comparable<ID>, T : Entity<ID>> isAssignableTo(entityClass: EntityClass<ID, T>): Boolean

Returns whether the entityClass type is equivalent to or a superclass of this EntityClass instance's klass.

Link copied to clipboard

Returns a EntityFieldWithTransform delegate that will cache the transformed value on first read of this same stored Unwrapped value.

Returns a EntityFieldWithTransform that extends transformation of existing EntityFieldWithTransform and caches the transformed value on first read.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun new(init: T.() -> Unit): T

Creates a new Entity instance with the fields that are set in the init block. The id will be automatically set.

open fun new(id: ID?, init: T.() -> Unit): T

Creates a new Entity instance with the fields that are set in the init block and with the provided id.

Registers an optional reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a child object of this EntityClass.

Link copied to clipboard

Registers an optional reference as a field of the child entity class, which returns a parent object of this EntityClass.

Link copied to clipboard

Registers an optional reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a collection of child objects of this EntityClass that all reference the parent.

infix fun referencedOn(table: IdTable<*>): Reference<Comparable<Any>, ID, T>
infix fun <REF : Comparable<REF>> referencedOn(column: Column<REF>): Reference<REF, ID, T>

Returns a Query to select all columns in dependsOnTables with a WHERE clause that includes the provided op conditional expression.
