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.

Adding Spring Data JPA and PostgreSQL dependencies

This section will add Spring Data JPA, PostgreSQL, and other valuable dependencies to our application. We will add the dependencies with Spring Initializr and an existing Spring Boot project.

Adding with Spring Initializr

Adding dependencies after creating a Spring Boot application using Spring Initializr is simple. We only need to select the dependencies on Initializr before generating our project:

  1. The first thing to do is to go to https://start.spring.io/ or to your IntelliJ IDEA (for Ultimate users) to open Spring Initializr (for a recap of the Using Spring Initializr section, refer to Chapter 3, Moving into Spring Boot).
  2. Choose your project if it will use Maven or Gradle and set the required configurations, which are Group, Artifact, Name, Description, Package name, Packaging, and the Java version of the project.
  3. Next, click Add Dependencies at the top right and select the following dependencies:
    • Spring Data...
