Key Refactoring Strategies

  1. Constructor Injection Optimization:

    • Utilize @RequiredArgsConstructor for automatic constructor injection, simplifying the code and the dependency injection process.
  2. Improved Exception Handling:

    • Implement .orElseThrow() in methods like getStudentById and deleteStudentById to provide clear feedback when records are not found.
  3. Update Method Logic Enhancement:

    • Centralize the update logic within the service layer, using JPA's dirty checking to automatically apply changes, reducing unnecessary database interactions.
  4. Code Conciseness and Maintainability:

    • Apply Lombok annotations such as @Getter, @Setter, and @NoArgsConstructor to reduce boilerplate code and enhance code maintainability.

Project Structure Simplification

Merging service interfaces and implementation classes when possible to simplify the project structure and improve code manageability.

Benefits of Refactoring

  • Enhanced Readability: Makes the code easier to read and understand.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Simplifies future code modifications and extensions.
  • Development Efficiency: Speeds up the development process by reducing the amount of manual code required.
  • Architectural Clarity: Provides a clear separation of concerns, making the application more modular and easier to navigate.

Conclusion

By applying the refactoring strategies outlined above, the Spring Boot CRUD Tutorial application becomes more aligned with modern Spring Boot practices, resulting in a cleaner, more maintainable, and efficient codebase.
