I am trying to implement a location search using Spring Data REST and MongoDB. Firstly, I created a model.
public class Event {
@Id
private String id;
private String name;
private String description;
private double[] position;
.. getter setter ..
}
Secondly, I added a repository.
public interface EventRepository extends MongoRepository<Event, String> {
List<Event> findByName(@Param("name") String name);
List<Event> findByPositionWithin(@Param("circle") Circle c);
List<Event> findByPositionNear(@Param("point") Point p, @Param("distance") Distance d);
}
However, now I am facing the problem that I do not know how to call the / search endpoint for findByPositionWithin and findByPositionNear? I cannot find any links or documents how to pass a complex type to a method.
FindByName / search / findByName endpoint events? name = test work well. How to pass a circle parameter? Do I need to write a personalized message conversion?
Hope someone has some tips :)
