Package org.javers.core.metamodel.annotation

Annotation Interface TypeName

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface TypeName
Gives a persistent and human-readable type name for Entity or ValueObject. This name is used everywhere by JaVers, instead of a fragile, fully-qualified class name.

Naming types is recommended if you are using JaversRepository. It fosters refactoring of package names and class names.

Usage example: 
@Entity
@TypeName("Person")
 class Person {
    @Id
     private int id;
     private String name;
 }
@TypeName works similarly to org.springframework.data.annotation.TypeAlias in Spring Data.

Important
All classes with @TypeName should be registered using JaversBuilder.withPackagesToScan(String)
or javers.packagesToScan Spring Boot starter property.
