Interface RecordMapper<R extends Record,​E>

All Superinterfaces:
Function<R,​E>
All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultRecordMapper
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface RecordMapper<R extends Record,​E> extends Function<R,​E>
A RecordMapper is a mapper that can receive Record objects, when fetching data from the database, transforming them into a custom type <E>.

RecordMapper is used behind the scenes in methods like ResultQuery.fetchInto(Class), Result.into(Class), Record.into(Class) and other methods called into(Class), where the argument class is a Class of type E.

The default RecordMapper behaviour in the context of a Configuration can be overridden through that configuration's Configuration.recordMapperProvider() SPI. Custom record mappers can be constructed using lambda expressions, using various Records.mapping(Function1), Records.mapping(Function2), etc. utilities, and other ways.

The inverse operation is modelled by RecordUnmapper.
