It&#8217;s popular among developers because it offers a quick production-ready setup, allowing them to concentrate on coding instead of dealing with configurations. With its microservice approach, creating production-ready applications is fast and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is MySQL Database?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">MySQL is a widely used open-source relational database management system. It efficiently stores and retrieves data for software applications, websites, and more. Known for its reliability and speed, MySQL supports various data types, transactions, and complex queries. It offers both client-server and embedded modes, allowing it to be integrated into different setups. With a large user community and extensive documentation, MySQL is a popular choice for businesses and developers seeking a robust and scalable database solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is REST API?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/learning.workfall.com\/learning\/blog\/deploying-a-rust-rocket-rest-api-on-aws-ec2-with-docker-and-github-actions\/\">REST API<\/a> (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that enable different software applications to communicate and interact over the Internet. It follows the principles of REST, using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform operations on resources such as data or services. REST APIs use URLs to identify resources and return data in formats like JSON or XML. This architecture promotes scalability, modularity, and simplicity, allowing diverse systems to work together seamlessly. REST APIs are widely used for building web services, mobile apps, and other distributed software applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hands-On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/182\/Illustrations\/2.png\" alt=\"How to Create Rest API in Spring Boot and Perform CRUD Operations with MySQL Database?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Required Installations:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform the demo, you require the following installations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Java:<\/strong> Java is a widely used, object-oriented programming language known for its platform independence and versatility.<\/li><li><strong>IntelliJ:<\/strong> IntelliJ IDEA is an integrated development environment (IDE) for software development, primarily used for Java projects.<\/li><li><strong>Postman:<\/strong> Postman is a popular API development and testing tool that simplifies the process of working with APIs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In this hands-on, we will discover how to build a REST API with Spring Boot. This API allows us to do basic things like creating, reading, updating, and deleting data in a MySQL database. We will make use of handy tools such as Spring Boot&#8217;s CrudRepository and Lombok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To start, we&#8217;ll initialize the new Spring Boot code using Spring Boot Initializr and then open it up in IntelliJ IDE. We will neatly divide our tasks into different sections and make sure our code follows good practices for writing clean and organized programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As we move forward, we will include all the necessary libraries in our project and start writing our code. Once we&#8217;ve coded everything, we need to test it to make sure it works correctly. We will make use of the Postman tool to accomplish this.&nbsp; We&#8217;ll also take a look at the database itself using SELECT queries to be sure that the data we put in is actually there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This tutorial makes the process of setting up a project in IntelliJ IDE and creating a Spring Boot REST API much simpler and easier to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/start.spring.io\/\">Spring Initializr<\/a> in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/182\/Images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Create Rest API in Spring Boot and Perform CRUD Operations with MySQL Database?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the \u201c<code>Add Dependencies<\/code>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/182\/Images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Search for the<em> <\/em>\u201c<code>Spring Web<\/code>\u201d library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/182\/Images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"How to Create Rest API in Spring Boot and Perform CRUD Operations with MySQL Database?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the library name and it will get added to your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/182\/Images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"How to Create Rest API in Spring Boot and Perform CRUD Operations with MySQL Database?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Fill in all the details accordingly and last click on the \u201c<code>Generate<\/code>\u201d button below.

This API helps us do basic things like adding, reading, updating, and removing data in a MySQL database. We used useful tools like Spring Boot&#8217;s CrudRepository and Lombok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">First, we started by setting up a new Spring Boot project using Spring Boot Initializr and opened it in IntelliJ IDE. We organized our work into different parts and made sure our code was clean and well-organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Then, we added the necessary libraries to our project and wrote our code. After that, we tested it to make sure it worked correctly. To do this, we used the Postman tool.
