spring-boot-vue-example-spring-data-jpa-rest-api-mysql-project-structure-server

– Customer class corresponds to entity and table customer.
– CustomerRepository is an interface extends CrudRepository, will be autowired in CustomerController for implementing repository methods and custom finder methods.
– CustomerController is a REST Controller which has request mapping methods for RESTful requests such as: getAllCustomers, postCustomer, deleteCustomer, findByAge, updateCustomer.
– Configuration for Spring Datasource and Spring JPA properties in application.properties
– Dependencies for Spring Boot and MySQL in pom.xml

	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Customer [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ", age=" + age + ", active=" + active + "]";
	}
}

1.3 JPA Repository

repo/CustomerRepository.java


package com.grokonez.spring.restapi.mysql.repo;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

import com.grokonez.spring.restapi.mysql.model.Customer;

public interface CustomerRepository extends CrudRepository {
	List findByAge(int age);
}

1.4 REST Controller

controller/CustomerController.java


package com.grokonez.spring.restapi.mysql.controller;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.DeleteMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PutMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.grokonez.spring.restapi.mysql.model.Customer;
import com.grokonez.spring.restapi.mysql.repo.CustomerRepository;

@CrossOrigin(origins = "http://localhost:4200")
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class CustomerController {

	@Autowired
	CustomerRepository repository;

	@GetMapping("/customers")
	public List getAllCustomers() {
		System.out.println("Get all Customers...");

		List customers = new ArrayList<>();
		repository.findAll().forEach(customers::add);

		return customers;
	}

	@PostMapping("/customer")
	public Customer postCustomer(@RequestBody Customer customer) {

		Customer _customer = repository.save(new Customer(customer.getName(), customer.getAge()));
		return _customer;
	}

	@DeleteMapping("/customer/{id}")
	public ResponseEntity deleteCustomer(@PathVariable("id") long id) {
		System.out.println("Delete Customer with ID = " + id + "...");

		repository.deleteById(id);

		return new ResponseEntity<>("Customer has been deleted!", HttpStatus.OK);
	}

	@GetMapping("customers/age/{age}")
	public List findByAge(@PathVariable int age) {

		List customers = repository.findByAge(age);
		return customers;
	}

	@PutMapping("/customer/{id}")
	public ResponseEntity updateCustomer(@PathVariable("id") long id, @RequestBody Customer customer) {
		System.out.println("Update Customer with ID = " + id + "...");

		Optional customerData = repository.findById(id);

		if (customerData.isPresent()) {
			Customer _customer = customerData.get();
			_customer.setName(customer.getName());
			_customer.setAge(customer.getAge());
			_customer.setActive(customer.isActive());
			return new ResponseEntity<>(repository.save(_customer), HttpStatus.OK);
		} else {
			return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
		}
	}
}

1.5 Configuration for Spring Datasource & JPA properties

application.properties


spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb?useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=123456
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true

2. Vue.js Client

spring-boot-vue-example-spring-data-jpa-rest-api-mysql-project-structure-client

– package.json with 3 main modules: vue, vue-router, axios.
– 4 components: CustomersList, Customer, AddCustomer, SearchCustomer.
– router.js defines routes, each route has a path and maps to a component.
– http-common.js initializes HTTP Client with baseUrl and headers for axios HTTP methods.
– vue.config.js configures port for Vue App.

For more details about how to use Vue Router in this example, please visit:
Vue Router example – with Nav Bar, Dynamic Route & Nested Routes

2.0 Setup Vue Project & Router

Init Project

Point cmd to the folder you want to save Project folder, run command:
vue create vue-springboot

You will see 2 options, choose default:

vue-create-project-config

Add Vue Router to Project

– Run command: npm install vue-router.
– Import router to src/main.js:


import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import router from './router'

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

new Vue({
  router, // inject the router to make whole app router-aware
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount("#app");
Define Routes

src/router.js:


import Vue from "vue";
import Router from "vue-router";
import CustomersList from "./components/CustomersList.vue";
import AddCustomer from "./components/AddCustomer.vue";
import SearchCustomers from "./components/SearchCustomers.vue";
import Customer from "./components/Customer.vue";

Vue.use(Router);

export default new Router({
  mode: "history",
  routes: [
    {
      path: "/",
      name: "customers",
      alias: "/customer",
      component: CustomersList,
      children: [
        {
          path: "/customer/:id",
          name: "customer-details",
          component: Customer,
          props: true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      path: "/add",
      name: "add",
      component: AddCustomer
    },
    {
      path: "/search",
      name: "search",
      component: SearchCustomers
    }
  ]
});
App template with Navbar and router-view

src/App.vue:

<template>
    <div id="app" class="container-fluid">
        <div class="site-info">
            <h1>grokonez</h1>
            <h3>Vue SpringBoot example</h3>
        </div>
        <nav>
            <router-link class="btn btn-primary" to="/">Customers</router-link>
            <router-link class="btn btn-primary" to="/add">Add</router-link>
            <router-link class="btn btn-primary" to="/search">Search</router-link>
        </nav>
        <br/>
        <router-view/>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "app"
};
</script>

<style>
.site-info {
  color: blue;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.btn-primary {
  margin-right: 5px;
}

.container-fluid {
  text-align: center;
}
</style>

2.1 Initialize HTTP Client

Install axios with command: npm install axios.
Then create http-common.js file:


import axios from "axios";

export default axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost:8080/api",
  headers: {
    "Content-type": "application/json",
  }
});

  3. Hi, Grokonez, I was finally able to create a project and make it run locally like your example!!
    change this:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    2.1.1.RELEASE

    to this:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    2.0.5.RELEASE

    Could you make a tutorial to deploy this example on heroku,please? you already got one but with postgres db instead mysql,thanks again,
    happy new year!!

  6. Thanks for the tutorial. Its really nice.

    Question- How would you save the customer if the customer had a composite property say Contact as an object with OneToOne mapping. (is it possible to create the contact object with fields like Tel, email, adress in view and the before save, say customer.contact= contact? contact ==object of type Contact?

  7. Hi,
    Your tutorial was very interesting but when i run the project i got two problems, the first one related to the CORS policy and the second is: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) 8080/api/customers
    How can i fix that ? thank you
