Current behaviour
- When resolvers are specified for a field via
fieldsWithResolver, the field is excluded from the object being generated
- When resolvers are not specified, the field is included in the object being generated
The problem
Adding ad-hoc resolvers that are outside the plugin scope is impossible because the field will always be generated.
Use case: if I want to add a custom @BatchMapping resolver it will either conflict with the "singular" one generated by the plugin or, if resolver generation is disabled we will end up with the field in the object that we don't want
Suggested solution
Add extra plugin option to allow excluding specified fields from generation, e.g.
<parameter>
<name>fieldsExcludedFromGeneration</name>
<type>java.lang.String[]</type>
<required>false</required>
<editable>true</editable>
<description></description>
</parameter>
Expected behavior:
- if field is added in
fieldsExcludedFromGeneration it is excluded from generation (not present within the object)
- if field is added both in
fieldsExcludedFromGeneration and in fieldsWithResolver it is excluded from generation
- if field is added both in
fieldsExcludedFromGeneration and in fieldsWithoutResolver it is excluded from generation
