CRUD - Spring Boot Booster

Important

While you can run and interact with this booster on our local host, it requires that you also have a database installed and configured. This booster runs best when deployed on OpenShift with a PostgreSQL database. For more details on using this booster with a single-node OpenShift cluster, CI/CD deployments, as well as the rest of the runtime, see the Spring Boot Runtime Guide.

Important

This booster requires Java 8 JDK or greater and Maven 3.3.x or greater.

Important

As part of the process of creating this booster, launch.openshift.io set up a project with a CI/CD deployment of this booster. You can see the status of this deployment in your Single-node OpenShift Cluster or OpenShift Online Web Console.

Running the Booster on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster

If you have a single-node OpenShift cluster, such as Minishift or the Red Hat Container Development Kit, installed and running, you can also deploy your booster there. A single-node OpenShift cluster provides you with access to a cloud environment that is similar to a production environment.

To deploy your booster to a running single-node OpenShift cluster:

$ oc login -u developer -p developer

$ oc new-project MY_PROJECT_NAME

$ oc new-app -e POSTGRESQL_USER=luke -ePOSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=secret -ePOSTGRESQL_DATABASE=my_data openshift/postgresql-92-centos7 --name=my-database

# Wait for `my-database` application to be running.

$ mvn clean fabric8:deploy -Popenshift

Interacting with the Booster on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster

To interact with your booster while it’s running on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster, you first need to obtain it’s URL:

$ oc get route MY_APP_NAME -o jsonpath={$.spec.host}

MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME

You can use the form at your application’s url or you can use the curl command:

List all entries in the database

$ curl http://MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME/api/fruits

[ {
  "id" : 1,
  "name" : "Cherry",
}, {
  "id" : 2,
  "name" : "Apple",
}, {
  "id" : 3,
  "name" : "Banana",
} ]

Retrieve an entry with a specific ID

curl http://MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME/api/fruits/3

{
  "id" : 3,
  "name" : "Banana",
}

Create a new entry:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"name":"pear"}'  http://MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME/api/fruits

{
  "id" : 4,
  "name" : "pear",
}

Update an Entry

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"name":"pineapple"}'  http://MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME/api/fruits/1

{
  "id" : 1,
  "name" : "pineapple",
}

Delete an Entry:

curl -X DELETE http://MY_APP_NAME-MY_PROJECT_NAME.LOCAL_OPENSHIFT_HOSTNAME/api/fruits/1

Note	If you receive an HTTP Error code 503 as a response after executing these commands, it means that the application is not ready yet.
