Based on the previous chapters, we will walk you through the initial configuration of an Order API application based on the Swagger application we created in Chapter 3, Designing RESTful APIs with OpenAPI and Swagger, and the inputs we looked at in Chapter 4, Setting Up Your Development Environment.
This section will guide you on the project's basic configuration, such as the package dependencies, testing tools, Linters, and so on. After that, the next step is to start coding using some Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles. Even though this book is not based on TDD principles, it is definitely a good practice to start coding from testing.
