MapStruct ignore all unmapped properties for specific method

Question

There are several ways to ignore unmapped target properties in mapstruct.

1. We could list all properties to ignore for specific method:

@Mapping(target = "propName", ignore = true)

2. Or specify to ignore all properties on mapper level :

@Mapper(
        unmappedTargetPolicy = ReportingPolicy.IGNORE
)

Is there a way to mix these approaches and ignore all properties at the method level without explisently list all of them?

Answer 1

Using the BeanMapping annotation you can specify this at method level.

@BeanMapping(unmappedTargetPolicy = ReportingPolicy.IGNORE)

The javadoc can be found here.

Answer 2

if you are using version 1.4, you can annotate your mapping method with @BeanMapping(ignoreByDefault = true)
