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.

Understanding Spring Security

Spring Security is an application-level security framework widely used in Spring Boot applications. It is a flexible authentication framework that provides most of the standard security requirements for Java applications. Spring Security is popular owing to the fact that it allows developers to integrate different authorization and authentication providers on the fly with the other modules available.

As we’re using Spring Security in our application, we do not need to code security-related tasks from scratch as Spring Security has these features under the hood.

Let’s discuss the concepts of Spring Security further.

Features of Spring Security

Spring Security mainly focuses on integrating authentication and authorization into applications. To compare the two, authentication refers to validating that a user can access your application and identifying who the user is. This mainly refers to the login page itself. On the other hand...
