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 Boot Security with JWT

In the previous chapter, we learned mainly how to generate automated documentation for our created APIs in our Spring Boot project. We learned how to add and use the features and properties of springdoc-openapi, configure the plugin on the project, and access the generated JSON and YAML documentation. We also learned how to implement the Swagger UI to make our documentation interactive and allow us to test endpoints directly on the browser.

This chapter will now focus on the security side of our application. We will discuss the concept of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and how it can secure our application. We will also be discussing the features and implementation of Spring Security in Spring Boot, the concept of JSON Web Token (JWT), and Identity as a Service (IDaaS).

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding CORS
  • Adding a CORS policy
  • Understanding Spring Security
  • Authentication and authorization...
