In the tutorial, I introduce how to build an “SpringBoot React.js CRUD PostgreSQL Example” project with the help of SpringData JPA for POST/GET/PUT/DELETE requests with step by step coding examples:

– SpringBoot project produces CRUD RestAPIs with PostgreSQL database using the supporting of Spring Data JPA.
– React.js project will consume the SpringBoot CRUD RestAPIs by Ajax then show up on Reactjs component’s views.

What will we do?

– I draw a fullstack overview Diagram Architecture from React.js Frontend to PostgreSQL database through SpringBoot RestAPI backend.
– Develop SpringBoot CRUD RestAPIs with the supporting of SpringWeb Framework.
– Implement Reactjs CRUD application with Ajax fetching APIs to do CRUD request (Post/Get/Put/Delete) to SpringBoot Backend APIs.
– I create a testsuite with a number of integrative testcases with CRUD RestAPI requests from Reactjs to do CRUD requests to SpringBoot RestAPIs Server and save/retrieve data to PostgreSQL database.

Overall Architecture System: Reactjs + SpringBoot + PostgreSQL

  • We build a backend: SpringBoot CRUD Application with PostgreSQL that provides RestAPIs for POST/GET/PUT/DELETE data entities and store them in PostgreSQL database.
  • We implement React.js CRUD Application that use Ajax to interact (call/receive requests) with SpringBoot CRUD application and display corresponding data in Reactjs Component.

SpringBoot PostgreSQL CRUD Design Application

SpringBoot PostgreSQL CRUD RestAPI Fullstack Diagram Architecture

I build a SpringBoot project that handle all Post/Get/Put/Delete requests from RestClient and do CRUD operations to PostgreSQL database to save/retrieve/update and delete entity from PostgreSQL and returns back to Restclient the corresponding messages.

We build a SpringBoot project with 2 layers:
– SpringJPA Repository is used to interact with PostgreSQL database by a set of CRUD operations.
– RestController layer is a web layer for SpringBoot project, it will directly handle all incomming requests and do the corressponding responses to the calling client.

Reactjs CRUD Application Design

  • React.js components let you split the UI into independent, reusable pieces, and think about each piece in isolation.
  • Ajax is used by Reactjs component to fetch (post/put/get/delete) data from remote restapi by http request

Reactjs CRUD Application defines 5 components:

  • Home.js is used serve as the landing page for your app.
  • AppNavbar.js is used to establish a common UI feature between components.
  • CustomerList.js is used to show all customers in the web-page
  • CustomerEdit.js is used to modify the existed customer
  • App.js uses React Router to navigate between components.
