Mapper array to List example

Parti dall’esempio UserMapper e dal UserMapperImpl generato mostrato nell’issue, quindi esamina come il builder protobuf UserDTO espone addPermissions e addAllPermissions. L’esempio è completo quando dimostra il mapping della sorgente Permission[] al campo protobuf permissions di tipo repeated e include il comportamento corrispondente da array a lista richiesto.

Hi,

Would be nice to have an example that shows the usage of MapStruct with array (like int[] ) to immutable list with specific add and addAll (like in protobuf).

example:
proto file

    message UserDTO {
        string id = 1;
        string email = 2;
        repeated PermissionDTO permissions = 3;
        repeated DepartmentDTO main_departments  = 4;
        repeated DepartmentDTO departments  = 5;
    }

java file

 public class User {

     private String id;
     private String email;
     private Permission[] permissions = new Permission[0];
     private List<Department> mainDepartments = new ArrayList<>();
     private List<Department> departments = new ArrayList<>();

     public String getId() {
         return id;
     }

     public void setId(String id) {
         this.id = id;
     }

     public String getEmail() {
         return email;
     }

     public void setEmail(String email) {
         this.email = email;
     }

     public Permission[] getPermissions() {
         return permissions;
     }

     public void setPermissions(Permission[] permissions) {
         this.permissions = permissions;
     }

public List<Department> getDepartments() {
	return departments;
}

public void setDepartments(List<Department> departments) {
	this.departments = departments;
}

public List<Department> getMainDepartments() {
	return mainDepartments;
}

public void setMainDepartments(List<Department> mainDepartments) {
	this.mainDepartments = mainDepartments;
}
 }

Mapper

 @Mapper(collectionMappingStrategy = CollectionMappingStrategy.ADDER_PREFERRED,
         nullValueCheckStrategy = NullValueCheckStrategy.ALWAYS)
 public interface UserMapper {

     UserMapper INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper(UserMapper.class);


     @Mapping(source = "permissions", target = "permissionsList")
     @Mapping(source = "mainDepartments", target = "mainDepartmentsList")
     @Mapping(source = "departments", target = "departmentsList")
     UserDTO map(User user);
 }

Error:
Can't map property "Permission[] permissions" to "PermissionDTO permissionsList".

### Desired solution:

 public class UserMapperImpl implements UserMapper {

     @Override
     public UserDTO map(User user) {
         if ( user == null ) {
             return null;
         }

         Builder userDTO = UserDTO.newBuilder();

         if ( user.getPermissions() != null ) {
             for ( Permission permission : user.getPermissions() ) {
                 userDTO.addPermissions( map( permission ) );
             }
         }
    
        ...

         return userDTO.build();
     }
 }

or

 public class UserMapperImpl implements UserMapper {

     @Override
     public UserDTO map(User user) {
         if ( user == null ) {
             return null;
         }

         Builder userDTO = UserDTO.newBuilder();

         if ( user.getPermissions() != null ) {
             userDTO.addAllPermissions( map( user.getPermissions()) );
         }
    
        ...

         return userDTO.build();
     }
 }

Is it possible to do this with actual release?
