I'm trying to write a Micronaut Data JPA finder that finds all employees that match to a list of strings.
Given the following employees (first name, last name)
- John Doe
- Jane Doe
- Peter Pan
- Silvio Wangler
- Franka Potente
- Frank Potter
Lets pretend a user queries the system with a query like Silvio then the result should be
- Employee: Silvio Wangler
If the query is Frank the result should be
- Employee: Franka Potente
- Employee: Frank Potter
And if the query is frank pot the result should as well (case insensitive like)
- Employee: Franka Potente
- Employee: Frank Potter
I managed to write a finder for a single string as listed below
Page<Employee> findAllByLastNameIlikeOrFirstNameIlike(
String lastName, String firstName, Pageable pageable);
For a query like frank pot I would like to tokenize/split the string to a list ["frank", "pot"] and was wondering if I could implement something like
Page<Employee> findAllByLastNameIlikeOrFirstNameIlike(
List<String> lastName, List<String> firstName, Pageable pageable);
or even better use the Criteria API of JPA. How would you implementent such a search finder? Can you point me the direction?
