rsql-jpa-specification

Translate RSQL query into org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.Specification or com.querydsl.core.types.Predicate and support entities association query.

SpringBoot 3 Support

rsql-jpa-specification supports SpringBoot 3 since version 6.x. (Contributed by chriseteka)

For SpringBoot 2 users, please continue to use version 5.x.

Supported Operators

Since version 5.0.5, you can define your own operators and customize the logic via RSQLCustomPredicate.

Syntax Reference: RSQL / FIQL parser

Spring Data JPA Specification

Pageable pageable = PageRequest.of(0, 5); //page 1 and page size is 5

repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSpecification(filter));
repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSpecification(filter), pageable);

repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSpecification(filter, true)); // select distinct
repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSpecification(filter, true), pageable);

// use static import
import static io.github.perplexhub.rsql.RSQLSupport.*;

repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter));
repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter), pageable);

repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter, true)); // select distinct
repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter, true), pageable);

// property path remap
filter = "compCode=='demo';compId>100"; // "company.code=='demo';company.id>100" -  protect our domain model #10

Map<String, String> propertyPathMapper = new HashMap<>();
propertyPathMapper.put("compId", "company.id");
propertyPathMapper.put("compCode", "company.code");

repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter, propertyPathMapper));
repository.findAll(toSpecification(filter, propertyPathMapper), pageable);

Sort Syntax

sort = "id"; // order by id asc
sort = "id,asc"; // order by id asc
sort = "id,asc;company.id,desc"; // order by id asc, company.id desc
sort = "name,asc,ic"  // order by name ascending ignore case

Sort with JPA Specifications

repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSort("id,asc;company.id,desc"));

// sort with custom field mapping
Map<String, String> propertyMapping = new HashMap<>();
propertyMapping.put("userID", "id");
propertyMapping.put("companyID", "company.id");

repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toSort("userID,asc;companyID,desc", propertyMapping)); // same as id,asc;company.id,desc

Filtering and Sorting with JPA Specification

Specification<?> specification = RSQLSupport.toSpecification("company.name==name")
    .and(RSQLSupport.toSort("company.name,asc,ic;user.id,desc"));

repository.findAll(specification);

QueryDSL Predicate (BooleanExpression)

Pageable pageable = PageRequest.of(0, 5); //page 1 and page size is 5

repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toPredicate(filter, QUser.user));
repository.findAll(RSQLSupport.toPredicate(filter, QUser.user), pageable);

// use static import
import static io.github.perplexhub.rsql.RSQLSupport.*;

repository.findAll(toPredicate(filter, QUser.user));
repository.findAll(toPredicate(filter, QUser.user), pageable);

// property path remap
filter = "compCode=='demo';compId>100"; // "company.code=='demo';company.id>100" - protect our domain model #10

Map<String, String> propertyPathMapper = new HashMap<>();
propertyPathMapper.put("compId", "company.id");
propertyPathMapper.put("compCode", "company.code");

repository.findAll(toPredicate(filter, QUser.user, propertyPathMapper));
repository.findAll(toPredicate(filter, QUser.user, propertyPathMapper), pageable);

Custom Value Converter

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
RSQLJPASupport.addConverter(Date.class, s -> {
	try {
		return sdf.parse(s);
	} catch (ParseException e) {
		return null;
	}
});

Custom Operator & Predicate

String rsql = "createDate=dayofweek='2'";

	Expression<Long> function = input.getCriteriaBuilder().function("DAY_OF_WEEK", Long.class, input.getPath());
