MapStruct Spring Extensions 0.0.1 released

It is my pleasure to announce the first official release of MapStruct Spring Extensions. What started out as a StackOverflow question over a year ago has turned into its own (sub-)project within the MapStruct organization.

This first release solves the issue described in the question linked above: How can we use MapStruct mappers defined as Spring Converters in a Spring-idiomatic way when building a hierarchy of them? Including the annotations and extensions defined in this project will generate a class acting as bridge between MapStruct’s conventions and Spring’s ConversionService API that in turn can be added to any Mapper’s uses attribute. See the examples for details.

Thanks

Thanks to Sjaak Derksen for suggesting this solution and Filip Hrisafov for opening the community project. If you feel like there’s something missing in MapStruct which could make the Spring experience any smoother, please get involved!

Also, if your favourite library or framework could use some tweaking with regard to MapStruct, contact us.

Happy coding with MapStruct Spring Extensions!
