In this guide we will see how we can use ShapeShift's Spring Boot starter to seamlessly add transformers and decorators within Spring projects.
The Spring Boot starter automatically registers mapping transformer beans and decorator beans, as well as a customizer for cases where further customization of the ShapeShift instance is required.
Default transformers cannot be registered in this way, see Using Customizers below on how to achieve this
Registering Decorators
You can register decorators in the same way that you register transformers, simply create the class and register it as a Spring Bean via your method of choice. (JavaConfig, XML)
If you need to be able to affect the ShapeShift instance in ways that are not mentioned above, you can implement a ShapeShiftBuilderCustomizer, customizers are configuration classes that give you access to the ShapeShiftBuilder for the main Spring instance of ShapeShift. To use, simply implement the interface and annotate with @Configuration. In customize, you can do anything you're normally able to do with the standard ShapeShiftBuilder
