I have built this FREE Spring Boot Handbook to learn all Spring Boot concepts in one place. Check it out now on my website:

Recently, while studying the second module of the Spring Boot Cohort by Coding Shuttle, I came across a topic called ModelMapper.

At first, I assumed it was just another utility library. However, after understanding its purpose, I realized how much repetitive code it can eliminate in a Spring Boot application.

In real-world applications, sending entity objects directly to clients is not considered a good practice because entities may contain sensitive information that should not be exposed. That's where DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) come into play. DTOs allow us to send only the required data to the client while keeping internal details secure.

The challenge, however, is that converting entities to DTOs and DTOs back to entities often requires writing a lot of boilerplate mapping code.

This is where ModelMapper becomes extremely useful. It automatically maps fields between objects, making conversions much cleaner and reducing manual effort.

Some common use cases include:
✅ Entity → DTO for API responses
✅ DTO → Entity for create and update operations
✅ Mapping collections such as List<Entity> → List<DTO>

Additionally, ModelMapper can be used alongside Optional for safer null handling and ResponseEntity for better API response management.

Learning small tools like these reminds me that writing less code often leads to cleaner and more maintainable applications.

Great initiative. Indeed, the best way to master a concept is to teach it to others. Keep going 🔥

Created a GitHub video to promote open source contributions over 4 years ago, it has received over a Million views and the Repo has around a thousand pull requests.
Relax, it was just a dummy repo I created 😂😂 Definitely not ExpressJS, smh

Just watched @sudoanuj video “What Every Entry-Level Software Engineer Should Know Right Now” — and it hit hard. 💡

As a fresher searching for a job, I realized a job doesn’t define your worth — skills, consistency, and mindset do.

I’ve realized that great developers aren’t the smartest—they’re the most persistent. So don't give up, everyone starts as a beginner and everyone faces errors. You will do great one day.

I once spent an entire month learning Kubernetes. This was back in 2021.
4 years later, still learning new stuff in k8s.

I’ve failed more times than I can count. But every failure taught me something I needed to learn.
Keep hustling.
