Spring Data optional parameter in query method

Question

I want to write some query methods in repository layer. This method must ignore null parameters. For example:

List findByBarAndGoo(Bar barParam,          


        

Answer 1

Too late to answer. Not sure about relationship between Bar and Goo. Check if Example can helps you.

It worked for me. I have a similar situation, entity User have set of attributes and there is findAll method which search user based on attributes(which are optional).

Example,

  Class User{
    String firstName;
    String lastName;
    String id;
  }

  Class UserService{
     // All are optional
     List findBy(String firstName, String lastName, String id){
        User u = new User();
        u.setFirstName(firstName);
        u.setLastName(lastName);
        u.setId(id);

        userRepository.findAll(Example.of(user));
        // userRepository is a JpaRepository class
     }
  }
