MapStruct nested list source to flatten target

How can I map the following:

class Source {
   String name;
   List<Other> others;
}
class Other {
   String otherName;
   List<More> mores;
}
class More {
   String moreName;
}

class Target {
   String name;
   String otherName;
   String moreName;
}

Hoping it could be something like:

@Mapper
public interface MyMapper {

    @Mapping(target = "name", source = "name")
    @Mapping(target = "otherName", source = "others[0].otherName")
    @Mapping(target = "morename", source = "others[0].mores[0].moreName")
    Target map(Source source);

I see that 'expression = "java(others.get(0).otherName)"' can be used but there are no null checks when using expression, which could result in NullPointeException. Any suggestions with null checks and default can be applied?

You can use expression to check the null value and return something.

@Mapper
public interface MyMapper {
    @Mapping(target = "name", source = "name")
    @Mapping(target = "otherName", expression = "java(s.others != null && !s.others.isEmpty() ? s.others.get(0).otherName : \"\")")
    @Mapping(target = "moreName", expression = "java(s.others != null && !s.others.isEmpty() && s.others.get(0).mores != null && !s.others.get(0).mores.isEmpty() ? s.others.get(0).mores.get(0).moreName : \"\")")
    Target map(Source s);
}

// mapstruct code generate.
public class MyMapperImpl implements MyMapper {
    @Override
    public Target map(Source s) {
        if ( s == null ) {
            return null;
        }

        Target target = new Target();

        target.name = s.name;

        target.otherName = s.others != null && !s.others.isEmpty() ? s.others.get(0).otherName : "";
        target.moreName = s.others != null && !s.others.isEmpty() && s.others.get(0).mores != null && !s.others.get(0).mores.isEmpty() ? s.others.get(0).mores.get(0).moreName : "";

        return target;
    }
}

If you want readable and reduce the check null duplicate code, you can use the interface default method and use org.springframework.util.ObjectUtils.isEmpty().

@Mapper
public interface MyMapper {
    @Mapping(target = "name", source = "name")
    @Mapping(target = "otherName", expression = "java(getFirstOtherName(s))")
    @Mapping(target = "moreName", expression = "java(getFirstMoreName(s))")
    Target map(Source s);

    default String getFirstOtherName(Source s) {
        return !ObjectUtils.isEmpty(s.others) ? s.others.get(0).otherName : "";
    }

    default String getFirstMoreName(Source s) {
        return !ObjectUtils.isEmpty(s.others) && !ObjectUtils.isEmpty(s.others.get(0).mores) ? s.others.get(0).mores.get(0).moreName : "";
    }
}

// mapstruct code generate.
public class MyMapperImpl implements MyMapper {

    @Override
    public Target map(Source s) {
        if ( s == null ) {
            return null;
        }

        Target target = new Target();

        target.name = s.name;

        target.otherName = getFirstOtherName(s);
        target.moreName = getFirstMoreName(s);

        return target;
    }
}
