Expose all IDs when using Spring Data Rest

Question

I\'d like to expose all IDs using a Spring Rest interface.

I know that per default an ID like this will not be exposed via the rest interface:

    @I         


        

Answer 1

If you want to expose the id field for all your entity classes:

import java.util.stream.Collectors;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.config.RepositoryRestConfiguration;
import org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.config.RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
public class MyRepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
        config.exposeIdsFor(entityManager.getMetamodel().getEntities().stream().map(e -> e.getJavaType()).collect(Collectors.toList()).toArray(new Class[0]));
    }

}
