v0.2.0

Added

• Support for partial updates using PATCH request in these endpoints
  • /data/products
  • /data/sales
  • /data/users
  • /data/images
  • /data/product_categories
  • /data/shippers
  • /data/product_lists

Changed

• Update CrudService signature methods
  • update - now meant as a method to fully update a data registry or item
  • partialUpdate - new method; meant to update part(s) of a data registry or item (former behavior of the update method)
• Update PatchService signature methods
  • patchExistingEntity method relies on a Map<String, Object> as first parameter, instead of a <P> object
    • The previous method signature has been deprecated in favor of this one
• All @Entity classes implement a new DBEntity interface
  • This interface declares a getter & setter pair for an id field. Most entities already had one anyway.
  • This is made to easily integrate the partialUpdate method with database numeric primary keys, represented by the findById repositories
• Update base CrudGenericService implementation
  • partialUpdate method is implemented, being fully-aware of the DBEntity interface to pass the id to an existing target entity
  • create and update methods now share extremely similar logic
    • Their only difference is that the update method syncs the entity id before being saved and flushed
  • prepareEntityWithUpdatesFromPojo renamed to flushPartialChanges
  • Remove method prepareNewEntityFromInputPojo
    • Instead of overriding this method, implementations may directly override its containing create method
  • Remove method persist
    • This two-line method started making things a bit confusing... (!?)
    • (note to self: never excuse a two-line method to duplicate code refactoring)
• Scope and flows of data have changed
  • Entity classes' copy constructors are very often used, so now these never care for entity relationships
    • EXCEPT when it is explicitly stated otherwise! These exceptions were made (from-to):
      • Customer -> Person
      • Salesperson -> Person
      • Sell -> SellStatus
      • Sell -> PaymentType
      • Sell -> BillingType
      • User -> UserRole
  • ConverterServices now take care of one-to-one entity relationships at most
  • CrudServices now take care of all entity relationships not covered by other cases
  • Pojo classes with id fields have been stripped of them; only entities hold id fields now

Fixed

• Calls to /checkout using an invalid sell will output a 400 error (bad input from user) instead of 500 (bad state of the server)
• Add a check in two GenericCrudService methods, partialUpdate and update, both overloaded with a QueryDSL Predicate as a second method argument
  • Validate that said Predicate only ever matches one record
  • This behavior could change in the future, but for now it is a deliberate choice to avoid them affecting more than one registry at a time
