java-springboot

What it does

• Build Tool: Use Maven (pom.xml) or Gradle (build.gradle) for dependency management.
• Starters: Use Spring Boot starters (e.g., spring-boot-starter-web, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa) to simplify dependency management.
• Constructor Injection: Always use constructor-based injection for required dependencies. This makes components easier to test and dependencies explicit.
• Immutability: Declare dependency fields as private final.
• Component Stereotypes: Use @Component, @Service, @Repository, and @Controller/@RestController annotations appropriately to define beans.
• Type-Safe Properties: Use @ConfigurationProperties to bind configuration to strongly-typed Java objects.
• Profiles: Use Spring Profiles (application-dev.yml, application-prod.yml) to manage environment-specific configurations.
