Initialize the project

Navigate to https://start.spring.io. This service pulls in all the dependencies you need for an application and does most of the setup for you.

Choose either Gradle or Maven and the language you want to use. This guide assumes that you chose Java.

Click Dependencies and select Spring Web.

Click Generate.

Download the resulting ZIP file, which is an archive of a web application that is configured with your choices.




Create a Simple Web Application


Now you can create a web controller for a simple web application, as the following listing (from src/main/java/com/hello/springboot/Controller.java) shows:






package com.hello.springboot.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

@Controller
public class HelloController {

@GetMapping("/hello" )
@ResponseBody
public String hello() {
return "hello,world";
}
}



The code will display hello world on your browser




Tools

Eclipse or Intellij idea or Vs code or netbeans

Development environment

Java : 1.8.0_221
XAMPP
Tomcat (included with XAMPP): Tomcat 9
Spring Boot : 3.0+

Learning coding through code architecture is an excellent approach as it emphasizes the organization, structure, and design principles of writing code. Here are some steps to learn coding through code architecture in spring boot 3 .

Have you learn using HTTP mapping annotations in Controller all based on @RequestMapping

@GetMapping
@PostMapping
@PutMapping
@DeleteMapping
@PatchMapping


U will design the frontend and then the backend , models , entity and use the id or class of the frontend to the controller as usual

Do you consider using thymeleaf to render view as a backend developer?

Yes but in Spring Boot, you can integrate various front-end frameworks and templating engines like React, Vue, Bootstrap, Angular and Thymeleaf .

I know. I just like the simplicity of thymeleaf in rendering view (although, it's not as aesthetic as Angular & React) than React & Angular.

Thymeleaf offers a lightweight and intuitive option for rendering views in Spring Boot applications .You are right in thymeleaf the components are still in simple HTML 5 just few differences while using Vue , Angular,or React the components are From scratch

Could you recommend any Swagger book or course for my API documentation? I'm really good at it and I need a better explanation on it

Look at this tutorials with list of codes on swaggers 3 . The Swagger Codes is in config and close to spring security class .

`spring-boot-project` is the main repository for the Spring Boot project, which is a popular open-source framework for building Java applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and conventions to simplify the development and deployment of Java-based applications.

The repository contains the source code and project files for various modules and components of the Spring Boot framework. These modules include:

1. `spring-boot`: This module is the core of the Spring Boot framework and contains the main functionality and features of the framework.

2. `spring-boot-actuator`: This module provides production-ready features for monitoring and managing your application. It includes endpoints for health checks, metrics, environment information, and more.

3. `spring-boot-autoconfigure`: This module enables auto-configuration of the Spring Boot applications by automatically detecting and configuring dependencies based on the classpath and the application's configuration.

4. `spring-boot-cli`: This module provides a command-line interface (CLI) for creating, running, and managing Spring Boot applications.

5. `spring-boot-starters`: This module provides a collection of pre-configured dependencies that can be easily included in your Spring Boot projects.

Besides these modules, the repository also contains other modules for specific integrations, testing, documentation, etc.

Each module usually follows a standard project structure with source code, tests, and configuration files. You can browse the source code, contribute to the development, report issues, or submit pull requests on this repository.

Overall, the `spring-boot-project` repository serves as the central place for the Spring Boot framework, allowing developers to explore, contribute, and utilize the features of Spring Boot for building robust and efficient Java applications.

Please when can we have spring gigs for beginners and interns? I'd appreciate if you can help with any

I am looking forward for opportunities too.

Currently working on a Spring boot project, from outside it looks scary but as you write it, it makes sense than most PHP framework, I think it's less complex than Symfony Framework.

You can host the frontend (client) and backend (server) separately on same or different server but the port will different based on the technologies used . Building the spring boot backend to jar or war in preferred host for deployment while the npm build command is in /build or /distrit or /public for frontend.

If you are using thymeleaf ,jsp or HTML the template code will be in the resource folder . As a developer you need to know the best practices to write codes.

You need basic core java knowledge OOP then Spring Boot 4: Learn Spring 7, Spring Core, Spring REST, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Thymeleaf or react or angular, JPA, Hibernate, MySQL , Microservices, Spring Cloud and Clean architecture
