Vue.js + Spring Boot + MongoDB - CRUD example

Hello everyone, today we will learn how to build a full-stack application that is a basic User Management Application using Spring Boot, MongoDB, and Vue.js. GitHub repository link is provided at the end of this tutorial. You can download the source code.

  • Spring boot is used to develop REST web services and microservices. Spring Boot has taken the Spring framework to the next level. It has drastically reduced the configuration and setup time required for spring projects. We can set up a project with almost zero configuration and start building the things that actually matter to your application.
  • Vue.js is an open-source model–view–ViewModel front-end JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications.

After completing this tutorial what we will build?

We will build a full-stack web application that is a basic User Management Application with CRUD features:

    • Create User
    • List User
    • Update User
    • Delete User

Following is the screenshot of our application -

-Retrieve all Users:


-Add a User:


-Update User:


We divided this tutorial into two parts 

PART 1 - Rest APIs Development using Spring Boot
PART 2 - UI development using Vue.js

PART 1 - Rest APIs Development using Spring Boot 

These are APIs that the Spring Boot application will export: 

  1. GET all User's        :     /api/v1/users
  2. GET User by ID     :     /api/v1/users/{id}
  3. POST User             :     /api/v1/users 
  4. PUT User               :     /api/v1/users/{id} 
  5. DELETE User        :     /api/v1/users/{_id}

Create User Repository

@Repository is a Spring annotation that designates that the adorned interface is a repository. A repository is a mechanism for encapsulating storage, retrieval, and search comportment which emulates a collection of objects.
package com.knf.dev.repository;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import com.knf.dev.document.User;

@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends MongoRepository<User, String> {

}


Create User Document

@Document to identify a domain object to be persisted to MongoDB.
package com.knf.dev.document;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;

@Document(collection = "database_sequences")
public class User {

    private String _id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String emailId;

    public String getId() {
        return _id;
    }

    public void setId(String _id) {
        this._id = _id;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getEmailId() {
        return emailId;
    }

    public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
        this.emailId = emailId;
    }

    public User(String _id, String firstName, String lastName, 
              String emailId) {
        super();
        this._id = _id;
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.emailId = emailId;
    }

    public User() {
        super();
    }
}


Create ResourceNotFoundException

package com.knf.dev.ResourceNotFoundException;

import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;

@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
public class ResourceNotFoundException extends Exception {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public ResourceNotFoundException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}


Create UserController

Spring @RestController annotation is a convenience annotation that is itself annotated with @Controller and @ResponseBody. Spring RestController annotation is utilized to engender RESTful web services utilizing Spring MVC. Spring RestController takes care of mapping request data to the defined request handler method.
package com.knf.dev.controller;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PutMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.knf.dev.ResourceNotFoundException.ResourceNotFoundException;
import com.knf.dev.document.User;
import com.knf.dev.repository.UserRepository;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1")
@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
public class UserController {
    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    @GetMapping("/users")
    public List<User> getAllUsers() {
        return userRepository.findAll();
    }

    @GetMapping("/users/{id}")
    public ResponseEntity<User> getUserById(@PathVariable(value = "id") 
               String id) throws ResourceNotFoundException {

        User user = userRepository.findById(id)
                .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
                     ("User not found for this id :: " + id));
        return ResponseEntity.ok().body(user);
    }

    @PostMapping("/users")
    public User createUser(@RequestBody User user) {
        return userRepository.save(user);
    }

    @PutMapping("/users/{id}")
    public ResponseEntity<User> updateUser(@PathVariable(value = "id") 
                     String id, @RequestBody User userDto)
            throws ResourceNotFoundException {

        User user = userRepository.findById(id)
                .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
                    ("User not found for this id :: " + id));

        user.setEmailId(userDto.getEmailId());
        user.setLastName(userDto.getLastName());
        user.setFirstName(userDto.getFirstName());
        user.setId(id);
        final User updateUser = userRepository.save(user);
        return ResponseEntity.ok(updateUser);
    }

    @DeleteMapping("/users/{_id}")
    public Map<String, Boolean> deleteUser(@PathVariable(value = "_id") 
                   String id) throws ResourceNotFoundException {
        User user = userRepository.findById(id)
                .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
             ("User not found for this id :: " + id));

        userRepository.delete(user);
        Map<String, Boolean> response = new HashMap<>();
        response.put("deleted", Boolean.TRUE);
        return response;
    }
}



Spring Boot Main Driver 

package com.knf.dev;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(Application.class,args);
    }

Learn Java 8 streams with an example - print odd/even numbers from Array and List

Example 1: Java 8 program to print odd numbers from a List   import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; /*Java 8 Program to find Odd Numbers from a List*/ public class DriverClass { public static void main( String [] args) { List < Integer > numbers = Arrays. asList( 1 , 4 , 8 , 40 , 11 , 22 , 33 , 99 ); List < Integer > oddNumbers = numbers.stream(). filter(o -> o % 2 != 0 ). collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(oddNumbers); } } 1. Initialize List using Arrays.asList() method. Java's built-in Arrays.asList() method converts an array into a list. This method takes an array as an argument and returns a List object. 2.  Java List interface provides stream() method which returns a sequential Stream with list of Integer as its source. 3. The Java stream filter(...

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Str...

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r...

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSiz...
