Spring Boot, Thymeleaf Hello World (Spring Boot + Thymeleaf + JS/CSS)

In this article we will see how to create a "Spring Boot" web project with "Thymeleaf", we will also see how to import "css", "js" and "images" and populate dynamic data.

1) Dependencies

Let's create a project with , make sure to add required dependencies as shown in the picture below:

Dependencies

The final "pom.xml" should look something like this:

2) Static Resources

We should add static resources like: "js", "css" and "images" in "src/main/resources/static" folder and "Thymeleaf(.html)" files in "src/main/resources/templates" folder as shown in the image below:

Static Resources

app.css

index.html

3) Controller

This is the place to define "requestMappings", please note how "Model" is used to send data from "Controller" to "Thymeleaf's" .html file.

4) Service

This is just an abstraction between the data layer and the controller. We are generating some fake data here to show it on the UI, but in a real scenario all the data comes from a datasource.

5) Model

This is a simple model; we used it to send "employee" data from controller layer to view layer (thymeleaf).

6) Spring Boot

This is plain old Spring Boot driver class; all the execution starts from here.

7) Testing

Now we are all done with our project setup; lets run the application and navigate to home page : http://localhost:8080

Deploying Spring Boot microservices on Kubernetes Cluster

This article guides you through the deployment of two Spring Boot microservices, namely "order-service" and "inventory-service," on Kubernetes using "MiniKube" . We will establish communication between them, with "order-service" making calls to an endpoint in "inventory-service." Additionally, we will configure "order-service" to be accessible from the local machine's browser . 1) Create Spring Boot microservices The Spring Boot microservices, "order-service" and "inventory-service," have been developed and can be found in this GitHub repository. If you are interested in learning more about creating Spring Boot REST microservices, please refer to this or this (Reactive) link. 2) Build Docker Images The Docker images for both "order-service" and "inventory-service" have already been generated and deployed on DockerHub, as shown below. codeburps/order-service cod...

Circuit Breaker Pattern with Resilience4J in a Spring Boot Application

Read Also: Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker + Resilience4j Resilience4j is a lightweight fault tolerance library that draws inspiration from Netflix Hystrix but is specifically crafted for functional programming. The library offers higher-order functions, known as decorators , designed to augment any functional interface, lambda expression, or method reference with features such as Circuit Breaker, Rate Limiter, Retry, or Bulkhead . These functionalities can be seamlessly integrated within a project, class, or even applied to a single method. It's possible to layer multiple decorators on any functional interface, lambda expression, or method reference, allowing for versatile and customizable fault tolerance. While numerous annotation-based implementations exist online, this article focuses solely on the reactive approach using router predicates and router functions . How Circuit Breaker Pattern works? In general, a circuit breaker functions as an automatic electrical s...

How to create a basic Spring 6 project using Maven

Below is a step-by-step guide to creating a basic Spring project using Maven. 1) Create a Maven Project Use the following Maven command to create a new Maven project. mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.tb -DartifactId=spring-demo -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false 2) Import in IntelliJ IDEA If you haven't already, open IntelliJ IDEA on your system. Go to "File" > "New" > "Project from Existing Sources..." . In the file dialog, navigate to the directory where your Maven project is located. Select the pom.xml file within the project directory and click "Open." 3) Update pom.xml In total, the application requires the below-mentioned dependencies: 4) Create Spring Configuration Create a Java configuration class that uses annotations to define your Spring beans and their dependencies. This class should be annotated with @Configuration . 5) Create the Main Application C...
