Spring Boot 3, Java 21 codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Spring Boot including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the Spring Boot community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

The application uses Spring Boot 3 and Java 21 for all its architecture.

Here's the functionalities of the API:

• User Authentication via JWT: It lets users sign in securely using JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Users: Provides operations to create, read, and update user profiles.
• Articles: Enables users to create, read, and delete articles.
• Comments: Enables users to create, read, and delete comments on articles.
• Article Listings: Offers paginated lists of articles with offset and limit params.
• Article Favoriting: Allows users to mark articles as favorites.
• User Following: Enables users to follow and unfollow other users profiles.
• Article Feed: Offers a feed endpoint to see articles from followed users.

Here's the technologies used for the implementation:

• Spring Data JPA for efficient data management.
• Spring Security with JWT tokens for authentication.
• JUnit5 and Mockito for testing.
• MySql for the database.
• Flyway for the database migrations.
• modelmapper for the DTOs.
• spring-arg-resolver, for dynamic param filtering.

Here's the steps you need to make the project run:

You'll need docker installed.

• Clone this repo.
• Run docker-compose up.

That's it :)
