VSCode Extesnsions

Spring Boot Web + JPA + MySQL

Got it ✅
Let’s build this from scratch, step by step, including MySQL dependency so you’re future-ready but you can still just run Hello World without DB config.

---

🚀 Spring Boot Hello World (with future MySQL support) in VS Code

1. Prerequisites

Check you have these installed:

java -version      # Java 17 or 21 recommended
mvn -v             # Maven installed

VS Code Extensions:

• Extension Pack for Java
• Spring Boot Extension Pack (optional but helpful)

---

2. Generate Spring Boot Project

Option A (VS Code)

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P → search Spring Initializr: Create a Maven Project.
2. Select:
   • Spring Boot version: 3.x (latest)
   • Project: Maven
   • Language: Java
   • Group Id: com.example
   • Artifact Id: hello
   • Dependencies: Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, MySQL Driver
3. It will create and open the project in VS Code.

Option B (Browser)

Go to 👉 https://start.spring.io
Choose:

• Maven Project, Java, Spring Boot 3.x
• Group: com.example
• Artifact: hello
• Dependencies: Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, MySQL Driver
  Download → unzip → open folder in VS Code.

---

3. Project Structure

You’ll see:

hello/
 ├─ src/main/java/com/example/hello/
 │   ├─ HelloApplication.java
 │   └─ controller/HelloController.java   (we’ll create)
 ├─ src/main/resources/
 │   ├─ application.properties
 ├─ pom.xml

---

4. Minimal pom.xml

Your pom.xml should contain (important part only):

<dependencies>
    <!-- Spring Web for REST APIs -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <!-- MySQL JDBC Driver -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>mysql</groupId>
        <artifactId>mysql-connector-j</artifactId>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

    <!-- JPA (for DB support in future) -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <!-- Testing -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

⚡ Even if MySQL is not configured, the app will still run fine.

---

5. Application Entry Point

Generated file → HelloApplication.java:

package com.example.hello;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class HelloApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(HelloApplication.class, args);
    }
}

---

6. Create Controller

Create folder controller under com.example.hello.
File: HelloController.java

package com.example.hello.controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class HelloController {

    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String hello() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

---

7. Run the Application

In VS Code terminal:

mvn spring-boot:run

Or run HelloApplication.java directly via Run → Start Debugging.

---

8. Test in Browser / Curl

Visit:

http://localhost:8080/hello

Output:

Hello World

---

9. (Future) MySQL Connection Setup

When you’re ready to use MySQL, edit src/main/resources/application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=secret

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL8Dialect

Then you can create Entity + Repository classes for DB operations.

---

✅ That’s it — you now have:

• A working Hello World REST API (/hello)
• MySQL support already included for future use
