SqliteMagic has built-in support for AutoValue immutable objects. AutoValue objects are treated the same way as POJOs with the key difference where annotations must be added to methods instead of fields.

AutoValue Result in SQL 
@Table(persistAll = true)
@AutoValue
public abstract class Author {

  @Id(autoIncrement = false)
  public abstract long id();
  
  public abstract String firstName();
  
  public abstract String lastName();
  
  ...
}

@Table(persistAll = true)
@AutoValue
public abstract class Book {

  @Id(autoIncrement = false)
  public abstract long id();
  
  public abstract String title();
  
  public abstract Author author();
  
  ...
}
 
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS author (
  id         INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  first_name TEXT,
  last_name  TEXT
);










CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS book (
  id         INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  title      TEXT,
  author     INTEGER
);

Every AutoValue object must have one long or Long type returning method with @Id annotation which represents the primary key .

For more detailed information about AutoValue and its usage see AutoValue Github repository.
