Intelligent Postfix Autocompletion for JPA entities, DTOs and MapStruct mappers in Kotlin

#jpa #hibernate #intellijidea #kotlin #jpabuddy #springdata #mapstruct #dto
JPA represents the anemic domain model pattern. So, usually, the main domain objects are layered as follows:
1) Entities contain only data
2) Spring Data repositories declare CRUD operations for entities
3) DTOs and mappers that transfer entities to their DTOs
Such segregation looks natural because each layer has its clear responsibility area. However, it brings additional complexity during development due to bad discoverability for different operations available over entities.
JPA Buddy addresses this problem by integrating intelligent postfix completions for JPA entities and DTOs that make development more straightforward and transparent.
