Interface EntityFormatter

All Superinterfaces:
Function<Entity,String>, Serializable
public interface EntityFormatter extends Function<Entity,String>, Serializable
Formats Entity instances into their string representations. Instances are built via builder(). 
Entity track = connection.selectSingle(Track.NAME.equalTo("Come As You Are"));

EntityFormatter formatter = EntityFormatter.builder()
				.text("Name=")
				.value(Track.NAME)
				.text(", Album='")
				.value(Track.ALBUM_FK, Album.TITLE)
				.text("'")
				.build();

System.out.println(formatter.apply(track)); // Name=Come As You Are, Album='Nevermind'
Outputs the following String:

Name=John, Department='Accounting'

given the entities above.
