Building Applications with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2

By: James J. Ye

Overview of this book

Building Applications with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2, with its practical approach, helps you become a full-stack web developer. As well as knowing how to write frontend and backend code, a developer has to tackle all problems encountered in the application development life cycle – starting from the simple idea of an application, to the UI and technical designs, and all the way to implementation, testing, production deployment, and monitoring. With the help of this book, you'll get to grips with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2 as you learn how to develop a web application. From the initial structuring to full deployment, you’ll be guided at every step of developing a web application from scratch with Vue.js 2 and Spring 5. You’ll learn how to create different components of your application as you progress through each chapter, followed by exploring different tools in these frameworks to expedite your development cycle. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a complete understanding of the key design patterns and best practices that underpin professional full-stack web development.

Continuous delivery


In this section, we will talk about continuous delivery and other two related practices—continuous integration and continuous deployment. The following diagram shows the differences between these three practices:

As you can see, the processes of these three practices can be triggered by a Code Push or Pull Request. For continuous integration, it focuses on building the code and execute those tests, including unit tests as well as integration tests. The integration test we talk about here is on the backend. To do that, we will need to start the Spring Boot application with all the components initialized, including controllers, services, repositories, and all other dependents, and then send API requests to see if the backend functions as expected.

Registration API integration test

We haven't added any integration test to our application yet. Let's create one for the registration API as an example...
