Building a Translation Application with Spring Boot, OpenAI (ChatGPT), Thymeleaf, and jQuery

With the advent of AI-powered translation services, businesses and developers can integrate robust translation features into their applications. In this article, we will build a simple text translation application using Spring Boot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, Thymeleaf, and jQuery.

Project Setup

Create a Spring Boot project using Spring Initializr with the following dependencies: Spring Web, Thymeleaf, Lombok, etc. Once the project is set up, add the necessary dependencies in pom.xml.



Configure OpenAI API

To get an API Key and API URL for ChatGPT (OpenAI API), follow these steps:

1) Go to OpenAI and create an account.
2) After logging in, visit API Keys in your OpenAI account.
3) Click "Create API Key" and copy it.
4) The base URL for OpenAI's ChatGPT API is: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

Use this in your Spring Boot application. Make sure to keep your API key secure and avoid exposing it in public repositories.



Implement OpenAI Service

This class is a Spring Boot service (@Service) responsible for interacting with OpenAI's API to translate text using an AI model like GPT. System Role: Instructs the AI to act as a translator. User Input: Requests a translation into the targetLanguage.



Create a Controller

The TranslateController is a Spring MVC controller that handles translation requests. It serves the home page (index.html) via GET /, and processes translation requests via POST /translate. It uses OpenAIService to send user-input text to OpenAI's API for translation into the selected language, returning the translated text as a response.



Create a Frontend Using Thymeleaf & jQuery

This Bootstrap-powered webpage provides a clean and modern text translation interface.



Run and Test

Start the Spring Boot application:

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...

Reactive programming in Java with Project Reactor

Reactive programming is a declarative programming paradigm that focuses on building applications that are responsive, resilient, and scalable in the face of modern challenges like concurrency, distributed systems, and asynchronous data streams . Reactive programming provides a set of tools, patterns, and abstractions to handle asynchronous and event-driven programming more effectively. Imperative programming focuses on describing the step-by-step instructions or commands that the computer needs to follow to achieve a specific task. In this paradigm, you explicitly state how to perform each operation and control flow in your code. The emphasis is on "how" the computation should be done. int sum = 0; for (int i = 1; i Declarative programming emphasizes specifying what you want to achieve rather than detailing how to achieve it. You describe the desired outcome or the properties of the result, and the programming language or framework handles the execution detai...
