Spring 5.0 Projects

Overview of this book

Spring makes it easy to create RESTful applications, merge with social services, communicate with modern databases, secure your system, and make your code modular and easy to test. With the arrival of Spring Boot, developers can really focus on the code and deliver great value, with minimal contour. This book will show you how to build various projects in Spring 5.0, using its features and third party tools. We'll start by creating a web application using Spring MVC, Spring Data, the World Bank API for some statistics on different countries, and MySQL database. Moving ahead, you'll build a RESTful web services application using Spring WebFlux framework. You'll be then taken through creating a Spring Boot-based simple blog management system, which uses Elasticsearch as the data store. Then, you'll use Spring Security with the LDAP libraries for authenticating users and create a central authentication and authorization server using OAuth 2 protocol. Further, you'll understand how to create Spring Boot-based monolithic application using JHipster. Toward the end, we'll create an online book store with microservice architecture using Spring Cloud and Net?ix OSS components, and a task management system using Spring and Kotlin. By the end of the book, you'll be able to create coherent and ?exible real-time web applications using Spring Framework.

Designing the wireframes of application screens


A wireframe is the basic skeleton of an application or website. It gives an idea about how the final application looks. It basically helps to decide navigation flows, understand functionality, design the user interface, and helps in setting the expectation before the application even exists. This process greatly helps developers, designers, product owners, and clients to work in a synchronous manner to avoid any gap in between. We will follow the same model and we will design various wireframes of the application as follows.

Country listing page

We will make it simple. The home page shows the country list with pagination, and allow searching by country name and filtering by continent/region. The following would be the home page of our application:

Country detail page

This screen will show details of the country such as cities, languages, and the GDP information obtained from the World Bank API. The GDP data will be visible in a graphical view. The page looks as follows:

Country edit page

In country listing page, there will be one button called Edit. On clicking it, the system will show the country in edit mode, enabling the update of the basic details of the country. The following is the view structure for editing the basic detail of a country:

Add a new city and language

In the country detail page, two modal views, one for adding a new city and another for adding a new language, are available by clicking on the New button. The following is the view for the two modal dialogs used to add a new country and language. They will be opened individually:
