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.

Documenting APIs with the OpenAPI Specification

In the previous chapter, we learned how to develop our Spring Boot application. First, we configured our application to run on the server using IntelliJ. Then, we developed the different parts of the REST application, such as the models and entities, which serve as the objects; the services, which hold the business logic and call the JPA repository to perform CRUD operations in the database; and the controllers, which define the endpoints. We also learned how to apply Redis, which adds a caching mechanism to improve the performance of our REST APIs.

This chapter will focus on creating the documentation for our Spring Boot project. We will focus on configuring springdoc-openapi and Swagger UI and generating documentation on the fly for the endpoints that we have developed.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Setting up springdoc-openapi
  • Setting up Swagger UI
