createEntity

Create an entity object from the specific row of query results. This function uses the binding configurations of the table, filling column values into corresponding properties of the returned entity.

If the withReferences flag is set to true and there are any reference bindings to other tables, this function will create the referenced entity objects by recursively calling createEntity itself.

Otherwise, if the withReferences flag is set to false, it will treat all reference bindings as nested bindings to the referenced entities' primary keys. For example the binding c.references(Departments) { it.department }, it is equivalent to c.bindTo { it.department.id } in this case, that avoids unnecessary object creations and some exceptions raised by conflict column names.
