Overview

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to how to build a Spring Boot REST CRUD application with PostgreSQL database as backend and Visual Studio Code as editor.

Technologies Used

• Java 1.8
• Spring Boot 2.2.6
• PostgreSQL Database
• Visual Studio Code
• Postman (to test API)

Project Structure

• EmployeeController contains mapping methods to handle RESTful requests.
• IEmployeeDAO deals with database operations.
• EmployeeDAO is the implementation of IEmployeeDAO.
• Employee is the Data Model class.
• application.properties is the configuration file where we can add application configurations such as database configuration.
• pom.xml contains dependencies of the project.

Database Setup

We are using PostgreSQL Database as backend for this project, first we need to install PostgreSQL and setup Database.

Download the latest version of PostgreSQL from here. After the installation run pgAdmin IDE to create and setup the database.

Create a database with name employee

Under Tools -> Query Tool, run the below script to create the table emp_master.

Create Spring Boot Project

In this project, we are using Visual Code to create the project. Visual Code is an Open Source and lightweight development environment developed by Microsoft. We can download it from here.

Refer Spring Boot in Visual Studio Code to create and run the project under Visual Studio Code.

Spring Boot Tools

POM Dependencies

We need to add the following project dependencies to pom.xml file.

Application Properties

Add database configurations to srcmainresourcesapplication.properties file.

Data Model

Create a model class forEmployee,

Data Access Objects

Create an Interface IEmployeeDAO with basic database CRUD functions,

Create implementation class EmployeeDAO for IEmployeeDAO,

Controllers

Finally we will create controllers to handle RESTful API requests,

Test with Postman

Conclusion
