如何使HATEOAS渲染空的嵌入式数组

问题描述

通常，CollectionModel将返回一个_embedded数组，但是在此示例中：

@GetMapping("/{id}/productMaterials")
    public ResponseEntity<?> getProductMaterials(@PathVariable Integer id) {
        Optional<Material> optionalMaterial = materialRepository.findById(id);
        if (optionalMaterial.isPresent()) {
            List<ProductMaterial> productMaterials = optionalMaterial.get().getProductMaterials();
            CollectionModel<ProductMaterialModel> productMaterialModels =
                    new ProductMaterialModelAssembler(ProductMaterialController.class,ProductMaterialModel.class).
                            toCollectionModel(productMaterials);
            return ResponseEntity.ok().body(productMaterialModels);
        }
        return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("no such material");
    }

如果productMaterials为空，CollectionModel将不会呈现_embedded数组，这会破坏客户端。有什么办法可以解决这个问题？

解决方法

if (optionalMaterial.isPresent()) {
        List<ProductMaterial> productMaterials = optionalMaterial.get().getProductMaterials();
        CollectionModel<ProductMaterialModel> productMaterialModels =
                new ProductMaterialModelAssembler(ProductMaterialController.class,ProductMaterialModel.class).
                        toCollectionModel(productMaterials);
        if(productMaterialModels.isEmpty()) {
            EmbeddedWrappers wrappers = new EmbeddedWrappers(false);
            EmbeddedWrapper wrapper = wrappers.emptyCollectionOf(ProductMaterialModel.class);
            Resources<Object> resources = new Resources<>(Arrays.asList(wrapper));
            return ResponseEntity.ok(new Resources<>(resources));
        } else {
            return ResponseEntity.ok().body(productMaterialModels);
        }
    }
