Adding more information to the HATEOAS response in Spring Boot Data Rest

Question

I have the following REST controller.

@RepositoryRestController
@RequestMapping(value = \"/booksCustom\")
public class BooksController extends ResourceSupport {
         


        

Answer 1

Ok, here is how I did it: I wrote mine HighlightPagedResources

public class HighlightPagedResources extends PagedResources {

    private List> phrases;

    public HighlightPagedResources(Collection content, PageMetadata metadata, List> highlightPhrases, Link... links) {
        super(content, metadata, links);
        this.phrases = highlightPhrases;
    }

    @JsonProperty("highlighting")
    public List> getHighlightedPhrases() {
        return phrases;
    }
}

and HighlightPagedResourcesAssembler:

public class HighlightPagedResourcesAssembler extends PagedResourcesAssembler {

    public HighlightPagedResourcesAssembler(HateoasPageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver resolver, UriComponents baseUri) {
        super(resolver, baseUri);
    }


    public  HighlightPagedResources toResource(HighlightPage page, ResourceAssembler assembler) {
        final PagedResources rs = super.toResource(page, assembler);
        final Link[] links = new Link[rs.getLinks().size()];
        return new HighlightPagedResources(rs.getContent(), rs.getMetadata(), page.getHighlighted(), rs.getLinks().toArray(links));
    }
}

I had to add to my spring RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.java:

@Primary
@Bean
public HighlightPagedResourcesAssembler solrPagedResourcesAssembler() {
    return new HighlightPagedResourcesAssembler
