Make Your Life Easier With MapStruct & Lombok
Speed up your development and get rid of boilerplate code
If you are working as a developer, you are already aware that speed is increasingly important. You have deadlines, sprints need to be finished, requirements change and you are under pressure to produce quality code as fast as possible. In that case, this article might not be for you, since you probably already know everything about MapStruct and Lombok.
But, if you are still learning how to code, then this article will teach you the basics of these libraries and how to set them all up.
Introduction
Lombok (apart from being an island in Indonesia) and MapStruct are code generator libraries, that automatically plugs into your editor and build tools, spicing up your Java. Lombok generates getters, setters, constructors, builders etc.
MapStruct will use getters, setters, and builders generated by Lombok, to generate bean mappings at compile-time, ensuring high performance, which will save you from writing all that code.
This will greatly speed up your development and eliminate boilerplate sections of code that repeat in multiple places with little to no variation.
