MYSQL SPRING BOOT SPRING BOOT 3 SPRING DATA JPA TUTORIAL

This tutorial will teach you how to build CRUD REST APIs using Spring Boot 3, Spring Data JPA, and MySQL Database.

We’ll first build the APIs to create, retrieve, update and delete a user, then test them using postman.

Note that we are using the latest version of Spring boot which is version 3.

Learn Spring boot at [Link]

1. Create a Spring Boot Application and Import in IntelliJ


IDEA
You can use the Spring Initializer website ([Link]) or the Spring Boot CLI to generate a new Spring Boot project with

the necessary dependencies.

Refer to the below screenshot to enter details while creating the spring boot application using the spring initializr:

Click on Generate button to download the Spring boot project as a zip file. Unzip the zip file and import the Spring boot project
in IntelliJ IDEA.

Here is the [Link] file for your reference:

2. Project Structure
Refer to the below screenshot to create a project structure or a packing structure for our Spring boot application:

3. Configuring MySQL Database


Since we’re using MySQL as our database, we need to configure the URL, username, and password so that our Spring boot can
establish a connection with the database on startup. Open the src/main/resources/[Link] file and add the

following properties to it:

[Link]=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/user_management
[Link]=root
[Link]=Mysql@123

[Link]=[Link]
[Link]-auto=update

Don’t forget to change the [Link] and [Link] as per your MySQL installation.

Also, create a database named user_management in MySQL before proceeding to the next section.

You don’t need to create any tables. The tables will automatically be created by Hibernate from the User entity that we will

define in the next step. This is made possible by the property [Link]-auto = update.

4. Create JPA Entity - [Link]


An Entity is a plain old Java object (POJO) that represents the data you want to store. You will need to annotate the class with
@Entity and define the fields of the class along with the getters and setters for each field.

Let's create a User JPA entity class with the following fields:

id - primary key
firstName - user first name
lastName - user last name
email - user email ID

Tutorials Guides Annotations Interview Quizzes


Java Guides package [Link];
YouTube Udemy MCQs SCE
import [Link].*;
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = [Link])
private Long id;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String firstName;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String lastName;
@Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
private String email;
}

Note that we are using Lombok annotations to reduce the boilerplate code such as getter/setter methods, and constructors.

We are using below JPA annotations to map an Entity with a database table:

@Entity annotation is used to mark the class as a persistent Java class.

@Table annotation is used to provide the details of the table that this entity will be mapped to.

@Id annotation is used to define the primary key.

@GeneratedValue annotation is used to define the primary key generation strategy. In the above case, we have declared the

primary key to be an Auto Increment field.

@Column annotation is used to define the properties of the column that will be mapped to the annotated field. You can define

several properties like name, length, nullable, updateable, etc.

5. Create Spring Data JPA Repository for User JPA Entity


Let's create a UserRepository to access the User's data from the database.

Well, Spring Data JPA comes with a JpaRepository interface that defines methods for all the CRUD operations on the entity,

and a default implementation of JpaRepository called SimpleJpaRepository .

package [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {


}

6. Service Layer Implementation


Java Guides
Tutorials
YouTube
Guides Annotations Interview Quizzes
Udemy MCQs SCE
This layer will contain the business logic for the API and will be used to perform CRUD operations using the Repository.

UserService Interface

package [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

public interface UserService {


User createUser(User user);

User getUserById(Long userId);

List<User> getAllUsers();

User updateUser(User user);

void deleteUser(Long userId);


}

UserServiceImpl Class

package [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

@Service
@AllArgsConstructor
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

private UserRepository userRepository;

@Override
public User createUser(User user) {
return [Link](user);
}

@Override
public User getUserById(Long userId) {
Optional<User> optionalUser = [Link](userId);
return [Link]();
}

@Override
public List<User> getAllUsers() {

[Link] 6/15
12/9/23, 10:48 AM Spring Boot REST API CRUD Example With MySQL Database
return [Link]();
Tutorials Guides Annotations Interview Quizzes
Java Guides }
YouTube Udemy MCQs SCE

@Override
public User updateUser(User user) {
User existingUser = [Link]([Link]()).get();
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
User updatedUser = [Link](existingUser);
return updatedUser;
}

@Override
public void deleteUser(Long userId) {
[Link](userId);
}
}

7. Creating UserController - Building CRUD Rest APIs


The controller is responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and returning the appropriate response. You will need to
define the endpoints of the API and map them to the appropriate methods in the Service layer.

Let's create the REST APIs for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting a User :

package [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link].*;

import [Link];

@RestController
@AllArgsConstructor
@RequestMapping("api/users")
public class UserController {

private UserService userService;

// build create User REST API


@PostMapping
public ResponseEntity<User> createUser(@RequestBody User user){
User savedUser = [Link](user);
return new ResponseEntity<>(savedUser, [Link]);
}

// build get user by id REST API


// [Link]
@GetMapping("{id}")
public ResponseEntity<User> getUserById(@PathVariable("id") Long userId){
User user = [Link](userId);
return new ResponseEntity<>(user, [Link]);
}

// Build Get All Users REST API
Tutorials Guides Annotations Interview Quizzes
Java Guides // [Link]
YouTube Udemy MCQs SCE
@GetMapping
public ResponseEntity<List<User>> getAllUsers(){
List<User> users = [Link]();
return new ResponseEntity<>(users, [Link]);
}

// Build Update User REST API


@PutMapping("{id}")
// [Link]
public ResponseEntity<User> updateUser(@PathVariable("id") Long userId,
@RequestBody User user){
[Link](userId);
User updatedUser = [Link](user);
return new ResponseEntity<>(updatedUser, [Link]);
}

// Build Delete User REST API


@DeleteMapping("{id}")
public ResponseEntity<String> deleteUser(@PathVariable("id") Long userId){
[Link](userId);
return new ResponseEntity<>("User successfully deleted!", [Link]);
}
}

8. Running the Application


We have successfully developed all the CRUD Rest APIs for the User model. Now it's time to deploy our application in a servlet

container(embedded tomcat).

Two ways we can start the standalone Spring boot application.

1. From the root directory of the application and type the following command to run it -

$ mvn spring-boot:run

2. From your IDE, run the [Link]() method as a standalone Java class that will start the
embedded Tomcat server on port 8080 and point the browser to [Link]
