1. Clone the application

https://github.com/givanthak/spring-boot-rest-api-tutorial.git

2. Create Mysql database

create database user_database

3. Change mysql username and password as per your installation

• open src/main/resources/application.properties

• change spring.datasource.username and spring.datasource.password as per your mysql installation

4. Build and run the app using maven

mvn package
java -jar target/spring-boot-rest-api-tutorial-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Alternatively, you can run the app without packaging it using -

mvn spring-boot:run

The app will start running at http://localhost:8080.

The app defines following CRUD APIs.

GET /api/v1/users

POST /api/v1/users

GET /api/v1/users/{userId}

PUT /api/v1/users/{userId}

DELETE /api/v1/users/{userId}
