What is spring boot

Spring Boot is a new framework provided by the Pivotal team. It is designed to simplify the initial construction and development process of new Spring applications. The framework uses an ad hoc approach to configuration, eliminating the need for developers to define boilerplate configurations. To understand it in my words, spring boot is actually not a new framework. It configures the use of many frameworks by default, just like maven integrates all jar packages, and spring boot integrates all frameworks (I don’t know if this metaphor is appropriate. ).

What are the benefits of using spring boot

In fact, it is simple, fast and convenient! What should we do if we need to build a spring web project?

1) Configure web.xml, load spring and spring mvc

2) Configure database connection, configure spring transactions

3) Configure reading of loading configuration files, enable annotations

4) Configure log files

.. .

After the configuration is completed, deploy tomcat for debugging

...

Microservices are very popular now. If my project just needs to send an email, if my project just needs to produce a point; I need to do this all over again!

But what if you use spring boot?

It’s very simple. I only need a few configurations to quickly and easily set up a web project or build a microservice!

Quick Start

Having said so much, my hands are itchy, let’s give it a try right away!

maven build project

1. Visit http://start.spring.io/

2 , select the build tool Maven Project, Spring Boot version 1.3.6 and some basic project information, click "Switch to the full version." Select 1.7 for the java version, as shown in the figure below:

3. Click Generate Project Download the project compressed package

4. After unzipping, use eclipse, Import -> Existing Maven Projects -> Next -> Select the unzipped folder -> Finsh, OK done!

Project structure introduction

As shown in the picture above, the basic structure of Spring Boot has three files:

l src/main/java program development and main program entry

l src/main/resources configuration file

l src/test/ java test program

In addition, the directory results recommended by spingboot are as follows:

root package structure: com.example.myproject

com +- example +- myproject +- Application.java | +- domain | +- Customer.java | +- CustomerRepository.java | +- service | +- CustomerService.java | +- controller | +- CustomerController.java |

1. Application.java is recommended to be placed under the following directory, mainly used for some framework configuration

2. The domain directory is mainly used for the entity (Entity) and data access layer (Repository)

3. The service layer is mainly business code

4. The controller is responsible for page access control

Using the default configuration can save a lot Configuration, of course, you can also change it according to your own preferences

Finally, start the Application main method, and now a java project is set up!

Introducing the web module

1. Add web-supporting modules to pom. , logs and YAML;

spring-boot-starter-test: test modules, including JUnit, Hamcrest, Mockito.

2. Write controller content

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
 </dependency>

@RestController means that all methods in the controller are output in json format, and there is no need to write any jackjson configuration!

3. Start the main program, open the browser and visit http://localhost:8080/hello, and you can see the effect. It’s very simple!

How to do unit testing

打開(kāi)的src/test/下的測(cè)試入口，編寫簡(jiǎn)單的http請(qǐng)求來(lái)測(cè)試；使用mockmvc進(jìn)行，利用MockMvcResultHandlers.print()打印出執(zhí)行結(jié)果。

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = MockServletContext.class) @WebAppConfiguration public class HelloWorldControlerTests { private MockMvc mvc; @Before public void setUp() throws Exception { mvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(new HelloWorldController()).build(); } @Test public void getHello() throws Exception { mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/hello").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)) .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk()) .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print()) .andReturn(); } }

開(kāi)發(fā)環(huán)境的調(diào)試

熱啟動(dòng)在正常開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目中已經(jīng)很常見(jiàn)了吧，雖然平時(shí)開(kāi)發(fā)web項(xiàng)目過(guò)程中，改動(dòng)項(xiàng)目啟重啟總是報(bào)錯(cuò)；但springBoot對(duì)調(diào)試支持很好，修改之后可以實(shí)時(shí)生效，需要添加以下的配置：

????

????????org.springframework.boot

????????spring-boot-devtools

????????true

? ?

????

????????

????????????org.springframework.boot

????????????spring-boot-maven-plugin

????????????

????????????????true

????????????

????????

? ?

該模塊在完整的打包環(huán)境下運(yùn)行的時(shí)候會(huì)被禁用。如果你使用java -jar啟動(dòng)應(yīng)用或者用一個(gè)特定的classloader啟動(dòng)，它會(huì)認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)“生產(chǎn)環(huán)境”。

?

總結(jié)

使用spring boot可以非常方便、快速搭建項(xiàng)目，使我們不用關(guān)心框架之間的兼容性，適用版本等各種問(wèn)題，我們想使用任何東西，僅僅添加一個(gè)配置就可以，所以使用sping boot非常適合構(gòu)建微服務(wù)。
