MapStruct - Using constant

MapStruct allows to map a constant value to a property.

Syntax

@Mapping(target = "target-property", const = "const-value")

Here

target-property − the property for which we are doing the mapping.

const-value − mapper will map the const-value to target-property.

Following example demonstrates the same.

Example

Open project mapping as updated in Mapping Using dateFormat chapter in Ecppse.

Update CarEntity.java with following code −

CarEntity.java

package com.tutorialspoint.entity;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

pubpc class CarEntity {
   private int id;
   private double price;
   private GregorianCalendar manufacturingDate;
   pubpc int getId() {
      return id;
   }
   pubpc void setId(int id) {
      this.id = id;
   }
   pubpc double getPrice() {
      return price;
   }
   pubpc void setPrice(double price) {
      this.price = price;
   }
   pubpc GregorianCalendar getManufacturingDate() {
      return manufacturingDate;
   }
   pubpc void setManufacturingDate(GregorianCalendar manufacturingDate) {
      this.manufacturingDate = manufacturingDate;
   }
}

Update Car.java with following code −

Car.java

package com.tutorialspoint.model;

pubpc class Car {
   private int id;
   private String price;
   private String manufacturingDate;
   private String brand;
   pubpc int getId() {
      return id;
   }
   pubpc void setId(int id) {
      this.id = id;
   }
   pubpc String getPrice() {
      return price;
   }
   pubpc void setPrice(String price) {
      this.price = price;
   }
   pubpc String getManufacturingDate() {
      return manufacturingDate;
   }
   pubpc void setManufacturingDate(String manufacturingDate) {
      this.manufacturingDate = manufacturingDate;
   }
   pubpc String getBrand() {
      return brand;
   }
   pubpc void setBrand(String brand) {
      this.brand = brand;
   }
}

Update CarMapper.java with following code −

CarMapper.java

package com.tutorialspoint.mapper;

import org.mapstruct.Mapper;
import org.mapstruct.Mapping;
import com.tutorialspoint.entity.CarEntity;
import com.tutorialspoint.model.Car;

@Mapper
pubpc interface CarMapper {
   @Mapping(target = "brand", constant = "BMW")
   @Mapping(source = "price", target = "price", numberFormat = "$#.00")
   @Mapping(source = "manufacturingDate", target = "manufacturingDate", dateFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy")
   Car getModelFromEntity(CarEntity carEntity);
}

Update CarMapperTest.java with following code −

CarMapperTest.java

package com.tutorialspoint.mapping;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.mapstruct.factory.Mappers;
import com.tutorialspoint.entity.CarEntity;
import com.tutorialspoint.mapper.CarMapper;
import com.tutorialspoint.model.Car;

pubpc class CarMapperTest {
   private CarMapper carMapper = Mappers.getMapper(CarMapper.class);

   @Test
   pubpc void testEntityToModel() {
      CarEntity entity = new CarEntity();
      entity.setPrice(345000);
      entity.setId(1);
      entity.setManufacturingDate(new GregorianCalendar(2015, 3, 5));
      Car model = carMapper.getModelFromEntity(entity);
      assertEquals(model.getPrice(), "$345000.00");
      assertEquals(entity.getId(), model.getId());
      assertEquals("05.04.2015", model.getManufacturingDate());
      assertEquals("BMW", model.getBrand());
   }
}

Run the following command to test the mappings.

mvn clean test

Output

Once command is successful. Verify the output.
