How to convert Flux <Document> to Flux <Employee> or List <Employee> in JAVA?

Answer 1

This one I am using. It is perfectly working fine. studentService.getAll() returns Flux<Student> using map I can convert into Flux<String>. You need to consider @Ikatiforis answer.

In your case following should work

documentFlux.map(d-> {
            Employee e = new Employee();
            //set values
            return e;
        });

Answer 2

Flux API is part of the Project Reactor library. If you wonder which operator fits your case, I would suggest you go through the Which operator do I need? section of the official reference guide.

In this case, you need the following part:

I want to transform existing data:

on a 1-to-1 basis (eg. strings to their length): map (Flux|Mono)

So, you need the map operator to transform Document instance to Employee.
