Path Accessor

path resolves a KProperty1/NestedProperty to its JPA Path for a given root - the same resolution every predicate extension already does internally, exposed so you can use it directly with raw CriteriaBuilder calls.

KProperty1

val spec =
    Specification<User> { root, _, criteriaBuilder ->
        criteriaBuilder.equal(User::name.path(root), "Jane")
    }

NestedProperty

val spec =
    Specification<Organisation> { root, _, criteriaBuilder ->
        criteriaBuilder.equal(
            (Organisation::organisationInfo / OrganisationInfo::addressInfo / AddressInfo::street).path(root),
            "Main Street",
        )
    }
