Building Applications with Spring 5 and Kotlin

Overview of this book

Kotlin is being used widely by developers because of its light weight, built-in null safety, and functional and reactive programming aspects. Kotlin shares the same pragmatic, innovative and opinionated mindset as Spring, so they work well together. Spring when combined with Kotlin helps you to reach a new level of productivity. This combination has helped developers to create Functional Applications using both the tools together. This book will teach you how to take advantage of these developments and build robust, scalable and reactive applications with ease. In this book, you will begin with an introduction to Spring and its setup with Kotlin. You will then dive into assessing the design considerations of your application. Then you will learn to use Spring (with Spring Boot) along with Kotlin to build a robust backend in a microservice architecture with a REST based collaboration, and leverage Project Reactor in your application. You’ll then learn how to integrate Spring Data and Spring Cloud to manage configurations for database interaction and cloud deployment. You’ll also learn to use Spring Security to beef up security of your application before testing it with the JUnit framework and then deploying it on a cloud platform like AWS.

Running test suites

Imagine you continued writing tests and that you wrote them for a couple more entities. Running them one by one can be frustrating. To make our lives easier, we will create a container test which will include all of them. Create a new class called SuiteTest and implement it like this:

package com.journaler 
 
import org.junit.runner.RunWith 
import org.junit.runners.Suite 
 
@RunWith(Suite::class) 
@Suite.SuiteClasses(NoteTest::class, TodoTest::class) 
class SuiteTest 

This implementation is easy to understand, but we will highlight the most important parts. The @Suite.SuiteClasses(NoteTest::class, TodoTest::class) annotation will define the tests that we will execute. Here comes a list of all of our test classes we want to perform. @RunWith(Suite::class) indicates that this test will be executed as a test suite. Now, run the test suite. Observe; we executed...
