TypeMappingStepImpl
```
public interface TypeMappingStep
```
The step in a mapping definition where a type can be mapped, and where properties of that type can be referenced to map them more precisely.

- Method Detail
  - indexed
```
TypeMappingIndexedStep indexed()
```
    Maps an entity type to an index.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.

    Indexed
  - binder
```
default TypeMappingStep binder(TypeBinder binder)
```
    Define a type binder, responsible for creating a bridge. To pass some parameters to the bridge, use the method binder(TypeBinder, Map) instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    binder - A TypeBinder responsible for creating a bridge.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.

  - binder
```
TypeMappingStep binder(TypeBinder binder,
                       Map<String,Object> params)
```
    Define a type binder, responsible for creating a bridge. With this method it is possible to pass a set of parameters to the binder.
    
    Parameters:
    
    binder - A TypeBinder responsible for creating a bridge.
    
    params - The parameters to pass to the binder.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.

  - mainConstructor
```
ConstructorMappingStep mainConstructor()
```
    Starts the definition of the mapping of the main constructor of this type.
    The main constructor only exists if this type defines a single constructor and that constructor accepts at least one argument.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DSL step where the property mapping can be defined in more details.
    
    Throws:
    
    SearchException - If this type doesn't have a main constructor.
  - constructor
```
ConstructorMappingStep constructor(Class<?>... parameterTypes)
```
    Starts the definition of the mapping of the constructor of this type accepting arguments with the given types.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parameterTypes - The type of parameters of a constructor in the type being mapped.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DSL step where the property mapping can be defined in more details.
    
    Throws:
    
    SearchException - If this type does not declare a constructor with the given types.
  - property
```
PropertyMappingStep property(String propertyName)
```
    Starts the definition of the mapping of a specific property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName - The name of a property in the type being mapped.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DSL step where the property mapping can be defined in more details.
