Spring Boot Skill
Apply the practices below when developing Spring Boot applications. Read the linked reference only when working on that area.
Maven pom.xml Configuration
Read references/spring-boot-maven-config.md for Maven pom.xml configuration with supporting plugins and configurations to improve code quality, and testing.
Package structure
Read references/code-organization.md for domain-driven, module-based package layout and naming conventions.
Spring Data JPA
Implement the repository and entity layer using references/spring-data-jpa.md.
Service layer
Implement business logic in the service layer using references/spring-service-layer.md.
Spring MVC REST APIs
Implement REST APIs with Spring MVC using references/spring-webmvc-rest-api.md.
Spring Modulith
Build a modular monolith with Spring Modulith using references/spring-modulith.md.
Thymeleaf
If Thymeleaf is used for view templates, refer references/thymeleaf.md
REST API Testing
If building a REST API using Spring WebMVC, test Spring Boot REST APIs using references/spring-boot-rest-api-testing.md.
Web App Controller Testing
If building a web application using view rendering controllers, test the controller layer using references/spring-boot-webapp-testing-with-mockmvctester.md.
Write ArchUnit Tests
To write tests for testing the architecture using ArchUnit, refer references/archunit.md
Spring Boot Docker Compose Support
To use Docker Compose support for local development, refer references/spring-boot-docker-compose.md.
Taskfile
Use references/taskfile.md for easier commands execution.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to connect to the docker container during tests application, append the following environment variable to your command:
export DOCKER_HOST='npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine'
