Project RESTDogs

Introduction

Develop a simple REST Web application to work with data about dogs Dogs have an auto generated id, breed name, average weight, boolean that true if the breed of dog is appropriate for apartment living otherwise false.

Instructions

Create a Java RESTful API Web application using Web, DevTools, H2, hateoas, and Jackson and JPA.

Data

Seed the data with the following

new Dogs("Springer", 50, false);
new Dogs("Bulldog", 50, true);
new Dogs("Collie", 50, false);
new Dogs("Boston Terrie", 35, true);
new Dogs("Corgie", 35, true);

Expose the following endpoints

Get

/dogs/breeds -> returns a listing of all dogs ordered by breed
/dogs/weight -> returns a listing of all dogs ordered by average weight
/dogs/breeds/{breed} -> returns dogs of just that breed
/dogs/apartment -> returns dogs suitable for apartments

Put

/dogs/{id} -> adds or update if already present the dog with id value id

Post

/dogs -> adds the dog

Delete

/dogs/{id} -> deletes the dog with that id

Recommended Steps

  1. Build a new project .
  2. Add properties (DEBUG logs) and dependencies (Jackson) .
  3. Create the data class .
  4. Create the SeedDatabase class .
  5. Create the repository class .
  6. Create the ResourceAssembler class .
  7. Create the Controller class .
  8. Create the ItemNotFoundException class .
  9. Now you can finally expose your endpoints!

Stretch goal and not necessary for MVP

Delete

/dogs/breeds/{breed} -> deletes that dog breed

Throughout the project, when adding dogs make sure the breed names are unique
