You can use the JsonSerializer to implement a ResponseEntity with specific selected fields by following these steps:
public class UserResponse {
private String username;
private String email;
// getters and setters
}
@GetMapping("/users/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<UserResponse> getUser(@PathVariable Long id) {
User user = userService.getUserById(id);
UserResponse userResponse = new UserResponse();
userResponse.setUsername(user.getUsername());
userResponse.setEmail(user.getEmail());
return ResponseEntity.ok(userResponse);
}
@GetMapping("/users/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<String> getUser(@PathVariable Long id) {
User user = userService.getUserById(id);
UserResponse userResponse = new UserResponse();
userResponse.setUsername(user.getUsername());
userResponse.setEmail(user.getEmail());
JsonSerializer<UserResponse> serializer = new JsonSerializer<>();
String json = serializer.serialize(userResponse);
return ResponseEntity.ok(json);
}
Note that in this example, we return a ResponseEntity<string> instead of ResponseEntity<userresponse>, so we need to serialize the object to JSON before returning it. If you are using a recent version of Spring Boot, you can skip this step by using the @ResponseBody annotation on your controller method, which will automatically serialize the response body to JSON.
