Starting with Spring Initializr
Create the Database
Create the application.properties
File
copy
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://${MYSQL_HOST:localhost}:3306/db_example
spring.datasource.username=springuser
spring.datasource.password=ThePassword
spring.datasource.driver-class-name =com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#spring.jpa.show-sql: true
Create the @Entity
Model
copy
package com.example.accessingdatamysql;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
@Entity // This tells Hibernate to make a table out of this class
public class User {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private Integer id;
private String name;
private String email;
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
}
Create the Repository
copy
package com.example.accessingdatamysql;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import com.example.accessingdatamysql.User;
// This will be AUTO IMPLEMENTED by Spring into a Bean called userRepository
// CRUD refers Create, Read, Update, Delete
public interface UserRepository extends CrudRepository<User, Integer> {
}
Create a Controller
copy
package com.example.accessingdatamysql;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
@Controller // This means that this class is a Controller
@RequestMapping(path="/demo") // This means URL's start with /demo (after Application path)
public class MainController {
@Autowired // This means to get the bean called userRepository
// Which is auto-generated by Spring, we will use it to handle the data
private UserRepository userRepository;
@PostMapping(path="/add") // Map ONLY POST Requests
public @ResponseBody String addNewUser (@RequestParam String name
, @RequestParam String email) {
// @ResponseBody means the returned String is the response, not a view name
// @RequestParam means it is a parameter from the GET or POST request
User n = new User();
n.setName(name);
n.setEmail(email);
userRepository.save(n);
return "Saved";
}
@GetMapping(path="/all")
public @ResponseBody Iterable<User> getAllUsers() {
// This returns a JSON or XML with the users
return userRepository.findAll();
}
}
