Handle requests for a non-existent resource using Java Optional in a REST controller
When an API is asked for a resource that can’t be found, it is expected to return the HTTP 404 response code. To meet this requirement we don’t need to clutter our application logic with throwing exceptions and dealing with them along the way.
How to add pagination to a Spring Boot app
Providing pagination for displaying large set of data will improve user experience and reduce the response time. Spring Boot comes with out-of-the-box solution for handling pagination, so let’s check how to implement it in an example application.
How to get json response only with an id of the related entity
Fetching entities with complex relationships can consume a lot of resources during calls to your API. To minimize the size of the requested json string, you can use the LAZY fetch type. This will result in accessing only the serialized object and its properties – without considering its relations. But often you need to obtain the identifiers of the associated objects as well. Check out how to fetch an entity with an id of a related object while preserving proper serialization and deserialization.
Fix CORS issues between Spring Boot and Angular on localhost
An Angular app is served by a different host than a Spring Boot API, so reaching for data via REST API will result in the following error: “Failed to load http://localhost:8080/api: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘http://localhost:4200’ is therefore not allowed access.” Read this post to learn how to configure Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) to enable the cross-domain communication on a development environment.
Make Spring Boot surrender routing control to Angular
In a multi module application Spring Boot should surrender routing control to Angular, otherwise trying to access any route other than the root page will result in a Whitelabel Error Page: “There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404)”
