Vertigo is a library tool for java, used to generate the mongo Codecs for your domain specific classes. It uses annotation processing to generate the Codec for the annotated classes so you don't have to do it yourself.

To use it, you just have to add the following dependencies to your build system (I'll assume you use sbt)

libraryDependencies ++= Seq("co.sanduche" % "vertigo" % "{version}" ,
  "co.sanduche" % "vertigo-processor" % "{version}" % "provided")

For a class to have it's own Codecgenerated it must be annotated with @MongoEntity. The VertigoCodecRegistry must be registered in the followingWay

mongoDatabase.withCodecRegistry(new VertigoCodecRegistry());

Vertigo supports the use of List<?> and Map<String,?> fields (included the support of nested generics such as Map<String,List<List<ObjectId>>>, if such gets to be needed any time) and can be extended to support more collection types such as Set.

Support for using different names for each field during de encoding/decoding proccess is still not present. Classes with type variables are not supported out of the box, yet the codecs for them can be included.
