Overview of this book

Getting started with full stack development can be daunting. Even developers who are familiar with the best tools, such as Spring Boot and React, can struggle to nail the basics, let alone master the more advanced elements. If you’re one of these developers, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need! This updated edition of the Full Stack Development with Spring Boot 2 and React book will take you from novice to proficient in this expansive domain. Taking a practical approach, this book will first walk you through the latest Spring Boot features for creating a robust backend, covering everything from setting up the environment and dependency injection to security and testing. Once this has been covered, you’ll advance to React frontend programming. If you’ve ever wondered about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI, this book will demystify all that and much more. You’ll explore everything that goes into developing, testing, securing, and deploying your applications using all the latest tools from Spring Boot, React, and other cutting-edge technologies. By the end of this book, you'll not only have learned the theory of building modern full stack applications but also have developed valuable skills that add value in any setting.

Creating unit tests

For unit testing, we are using JUnit, which is a popular Java-based unit testing library. The following source code shows an example skeleton of the Spring Boot test class. The @SpringBootTest annotation specifies that the class is a regular test class that runs Spring Boot-based tests. The @Test annotation before the method specifies to JUnit that the method can be run as a test case:

@SpringBootTest
public  class  MyTestsClass  {
  @Test
  public  void  testMethod()  {
    // Test case code
  }
}

First, we will create our first test case that will test the major functionality of our application before we create any formal test cases. Proceed as follows:

  1. Open the CardatabaseApplicationTest test class that has already been made for your application. There is one test method called contextLoads here, and this is where we will add the test. The...
