Overview of this book

Spring Boot is a lightweight framework that provides a set of tools to create production-grade applications and services. Spring Boot 2.0 Projects is a comprehensive project-based guide for those who are new to Spring, that will get you up to speed with building real-world projects. Complete with clear step-by-step instructions, these easy-to-follow tutorials demonstrate best practices and key insights into building efficient applications with Spring Boot. The book starts off by teaching you how to develop a web application using Spring Boot, followed by giving you an understanding of creating a Spring Boot-based simple blog management system that uses Elasticsearch as the data store. Next, you’ll build a RESTful web services application using Kotlin and the Spring WebFlux framework - a new framework that enables you to create reactive applications in a functional way. Toward the last few chapters, you will build a taxi-hailing API with reactive microservices using Spring Boot, in addition to developing a Twitter clone with the help of a Spring Boot backend. To build on your knowledge further, you’ll also learn how to construct an asynchronous email formatter. By the end of this book, you’ll have a firm foundation in Spring programming and understand how to build powerful, engaging applications in Java using the Spring Boot framework.

Demonstrating Tweety

When everything is built and run, and run, the backend will be able to be accessed using the http://localhost:8080 URL.

There are several ways to run a Spring Boot application; some of them are mentioned here:

  • Running the Spring Boot application main class using an IDE.
  • Building a JAR or WAR file using the following Maven command and then running:
$ cd backend
$ mvn clean install
$ java -jar target/<package-name>.[jar|war]

  • Running Tweety using the Spring Boot Maven plugin:
$ mvn clean spring-boot:run
  • Building the frontend using the following command:
       $ npm install
  • Running the frontend using the Angular CLI command that will start the frontend application in http://localhost:4200:
       $ ng serve
