Generate SpringBoot Microservice

Generate REST API with CRUD operations

You can generate REST API with CRUD operation using the following command:

🔆 You should run the following command from within the generated project folder.

myservice> yo springboot:controller Customer --base-path /api/customers

This will generate:

• JPA entity
• Spring Data JPA Repository
• Service
• Spring MVC REST Controller with CRUD operations
• Unit and Integration Tests for REST Controller
• Flyway or Liquibase migration to create table

Why another generator when you have JHipster?

JHipster is an amazing SpringBoot application generator with lots and lots of cool features. However, there are certain JHipster features that does not fit for my preferences such as:

1. I like jar packaging
2. I like to use spring-boot-starter-* than configuring individual libraries
3. I like to have an option to generate application without spring-security
4. I prefer Flyway to Liquibase
5. I like to have only minimum and required configuration ie no AsyncConfiguration, LocaleConfiguration, CacheConfiguration, Logstash Logging etc.
6. I like .properties over .yml
