Book Manager Web API using Spring Boot for Further APIs Session

📖 Minimalist Book Manager API

Introduction

This is the starter repository for the Further APIs session. It provides a start to creating a Minimalist Book Manager API using a Test-Driven Development approach.

Pre-Requisites

• Java SE Development Kit 11
• Maven

Technologies & Dependencies

• Spring Web
• H2 Database
• Lombok
• Spring Data JPA

How to Get Started

Main Entry Point

• The Main Entry Point for the application is: BookmanagerApplication.java

Running the Unit Tests

• You can run the unit tests in IntelliJ, or you can go to your terminal and inside the root of this directory, run:

mvn test

Tasks

Here are some tasks for you to work on:

📘 Task 1: Implement the following User Story with tests.

User Story: As a user, I want to use the Book Manager API to delete a book using its ID

📘 Extension Task: Oh no! 😭 We've only covered the happy paths in the solution, can you figure out a way to add in exception handling to the project?

• Clue 1: What if someone wants to add a book with an ID for a book that already exists? How do we handle this gracefully?

• Clue 2: What if someone wants to find a book by an ID that doesn't yet exist? How can we improve the API by handling errors gracefully and show a helpful message to the client?
