RESTGen

Utility to generate a Spring Boot and gradle based application (deployable as a microservice) for exposing a resource via RESTFUL APIs. The generation of the application / APIscan be controlled via declarative config provided in appconfig.yaml.

Given a resource (say car):

Generated code:

• Spring Boot main application class 'Application.java' (if set to true in appconfig)
• Model for the resource (Car.java) backed by a Abstract entity (AbstractEntity) for common attributes like ID etc
• Controller to route http requests (CarController)
• Service interfaces and implementation (CarService, CarServiceImpl)
• Spring data Repository (CarRepository.java)

RESTGen is a gradle based project.

To generate code:

• With default config yaml which comes with this source code: gradle run

• With specified config yaml file: gradle run -PappArgs="['path to yaml config']"

  • example: gradle run -PappArgs="['appconfig.yml']" where appconfig.yml exists in the current directory

Sample config yaml

boot-application: true
package: com.mrbhatt.test
resource: plane

   make: string
   model: string
   color: string
   price: int
