Overview of this book

Angular makes building applications with the web easy and Spring Boot helps get an application up and running using just a few lines of code and minimal configuration. This book provides insights into building full-stack apps using Angular and Spring Boot effectively to reduce overall development time and increase efficiency. You'll start by setting up your CI/CD pipeline and then build your web application’s backend guided by best practices. You'll then see how Spring Boot allows you to build applications faster and more efficiently by letting the Spring Framework and Spring Boot extension do the heavy lifting. The book demonstrates how to use Spring Data JPA and add its dependencies along with Postgres dependencies in the project to save or persist a user's data in a database for future use. As you advance, you'll see how to write tests and test a service using Mockito. Finally, you'll create a CI workflow or pipeline for a Spring Boot and Angular application to enable operations to deliver quality applications faster. By the end of this Spring Boot and Angular book, you'll be able to build a full-stack web application and deploy it through continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Components of GitHub Actions

Now that we’ve learned what GitHub Actions is, let’s see the components of GitHub Actions that help us do DevOps and run workflows when events get triggered.

Here are the components of GitHub Actions:

  • Workflows: This is a configurable YAML file in a repository’s directory, such as .github/workflows, that runs jobs manually, automatically triggers an event, or does so by setting a schedule.
  • Events: Events are activities in a repository that cause your workflow to start running. Common events you might see in a workflow file are pull_request, push, and schedule. However, other events can be useful, depending on your needs.
  • Jobs: A job is a set or group of steps (script or action) in a workflow. A particular job executes in the same runner throughout the steps.
  • Actions: An action performs the task at hand or anything you need, such as checking out your repository, building your application, testing your application...
