In this article, I’m going to explain how to use the MongoDB database with a Spring Boot application using a practical scenario. Additionally, I’m going to develop a REST API covering CRUD operations to show the practical usage of using MongoDB inside a spring boot application.
Technologies going to use,
- Java 1.8
- Spring Boot 2.3.4 RELEASE
- Spring Data MongoDB
- Lombok
- Gradle
- IntelliJ Idea for IDE
Main topics I’m going to discuss here,
- Adding Required Dependencies
- Defining API Endpoints
- Basic Architecture Inside The Project
- Developing the API
- Configure MongoDB Connection For Spring Boot
- Configure with Mongo Server
- Configure Spring Boot Project with MongoDB Atlas
- Defining Model Classes as Documents
- Defining Repository Layer
- Adding Service Layer
- Controller Layer to Expose REST API Endpoints
- Configure MongoDB Connection For Spring Boot
- Testing API
- Conclusion
