Spring Web Scaffolding System for a Collection Pojo based Controller

Setup

Install node:

 $ brew install node 

Install yeoman:

 $ sudo npm install -g yo

Install generator:

 $ sudo npm install -g spring-web-pojo-controller

Using the generator

When running the generator with the following input

$ yo spring-web-pojo-controller
? What's the name of the noun to be modelled? Person
? What's the type (if primitive, use its wrapper class) of the variable used as an identifier in the noun? String
? What is your default Java package name? (com.example.demo)

This generates an set of classes, with a service class that needs implemented with the business logic.

 @Service
 public class PersonService { }

The generator creates a Controller that exposes a collection resource at /persons. The path is derived from the uncapitalized, pluralized, simple class name of the noun class being managed. For example If the Noun is Person the Collection will be people, if the Noun is Ethernet the Collection will be ethernet.

It also exposes an item resource for each of the items managed by the repository under the URI template /people/{id}. Below is the interface operations that represent the CRUD operations that gets created by the tool.

T create(T noun);
ResponseEntity<T> findOne(ID id);
List<T> findAll();
List<T> findPaginated(int page, int size);
T update(T noun);
void delete(ID id);
void deleteAll();

And optionally

List<T> findFiltered(@RequestParam("filter") T' filter)
