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.

Moving into Spring Boot

In the previous chapter, you learned how to set up your development environment for developing your REST APIs using Java and your Angular application. We also installed SDKMAN! to manage multiple versions of Java, a REST client to test APIs without the use of third-party tools, Angular DevTools to debug your Angular application, and Git for code versioning and collaboration.

This chapter will now teach you the concepts of Spring Boot. We will deep-dive into Spring Boot’s fundamentals and the essential things we need to learn to develop our backend application. We will also learn how to create a Spring Boot project using Spring Initializr.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding Spring Boot
  • Using Spring Initializr
  • Dependency injection
  • Beans and annotations
