Spring REST API Quick Start

Introduction

This is meant to just be a quickstart for me. I use many technologies so this reminds me how to get going.

Setup Spring

Go to start.spring.io and select JPA, Rest Repositories and H2 Database.


Import the resulting project as a maven project

Create Classes

Beer Class (Entity)

 
@Entity
public class Beer {

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	private Long id;
	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}
	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public Double getApv() {
		return apv;
	}
	public void setApv(Double apv) {
		this.apv = apv;
	}
	private String name;
	private Double apv;
}

Beer Repository

 
package nz.co.bibble.restapi11;

import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RepositoryRestResource;

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface RestRepository extends CrudRepository<Beer,Long> {

}

Resources

Set the application properties for H2

 
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:beers

Create the Data.sql in the resources directory

 
INSERT INTO beer(name, apv) VALUES('Jai Alai', 7.5);
INSERT INTO beer(name, apv) VALUES('Stella Artois', 5.0);
INSERT INTO beer(name, apv) VALUES('Lagunitas', 6.2);
COMMIT;

Run

Goto http://localhost:8080/beers

Add Spring Security

We can add security to a new project with

        <dependencies>
...
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
                </dependency>

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
                        <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
                        <scope>test</scope>
                </dependency>

        </dependencies>
