Is it possible to get entity from ResultRow using DSL?

[jessel]

Entities in exposed have a wrapRow (or wrapRows for a collection) function that takes ResultRow as a parameter and returns the entity

Entity is different than Table?

Do I have to use DAO style then to wrapRow?

[Mario Andhika]

Is DSL style more for outputting directly to like a DTO for example?

[jessel]

The DSL style is a type-safe accessor for SQL, but doesn’t provide any entity-type class. The DAO wraps the DSL to provide said entity-type class

[jessel]

That’s why Exposed represents tables with `object`s, since they are singletons not classes

[Mario Andhika]

I see. That makes sense. Thanks Jesse!

Are Entities heavier than DTOs?
