Spring Data JPA MongoDB Expressions

How it works:

1. Customize JPA Repository base class:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableJpaRepositories(repositoryBaseClass = ExpressionsRepositoryImpl.class)
public class Application { … }

2. Change your repository to extends ExpressionsRepository:

@Repository
public interface EmployeeRepository extends ExpressionsRepository<Employee, Long> {
}

3. Build the controller/service:

@PostMapping("/search")
public ResponseEntity<Page<EmployeeDto>> search(@RequestBody Expressions expressions, Pageable pageable) {
  
    return ok().body(
                employeeRepository.findAll(expressions, pageable).map(employeeMapper::toDto)
        );
}

4. Send Mongodb query in JSON from frontend:
