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:
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:
- GET all User's : /api/v1/users
- GET User by ID : /api/v1/users/{id}
- POST User : /api/v1/users
- PUT User : /api/v1/users/{id}
- DELETE User : /api/v1/users/{_id}
Backend project structure
pom.xml
Include spring-boot-starter-web for Spring MVC and REST structure, and spring-boot-starter-data-MongoDB for CRUD repository.

application.properties
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27017/user-devserver.port=8081
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;
@Repositorypublic 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.DeleteMapping;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;
@SpringBootApplicationpublic class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class,args); }}

package.json
A package.json is a JSON file that subsists at the root of a Javascript/Node project. It holds metadata pertinent to the project and is utilized for managing the project's dependencies, scripts, version, and a whole lot more.

Vue Components are one of the important features of VueJS that creates custom elements, which can be reused in HTML
