This tutorial will walk you through the steps of building a full stack Spring Boot VueJS Example with TodoMVC, REST APIs, JPA, Hibernate and MySQL
What you'll build
What you'll need
- JDK 8+ or OpenJDK 8+
- Maven 3+
- MySQL Server 5+ or Docker CE 18+
Project structure
Project dependencies
Define JPA Entity, Repository and Service
Define REST API and Controller
FreeMarker/HTML View Template
Static Files
Application Configurations
hk-mysql refers to Docker Compose service defined in the below docker-compose.yml file
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create allows JPA/Hibernate auto create database and table schema for you
On production environment, you may like to disable the DDL Auto feature by using spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=validate or spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none (default). Check out this example as one of the approaches Flyway Example of Database Migration/Evolution with Spring Boot, JPA and Hibernate
Run with Docker
Prepare Dockerfile for Java/Spring Boot application and docker-compose.yml for MySQL Server
Type the below command at the project root directory, make sure your local Docker is running
docker-compose up
Run with Maven and MySQL Server local
Update hk-mysql on application.properties to localhost and type the below command at the project root directory
mvn clean spring-boot:run
Testing time
Access to localhost:8080 to see the app
