Add additional dependencies

  • Insert
    springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui
    and
    archunit-junit5
    dependency into
    build.gradle.kts
    file
dependencies {
  implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webflux-ui:2.8.6")
  testImplementation("com.tngtech.archunit:archunit-junit5:1.2.1")
}
  • Insert SpringDoc configurations into
    application.properties
    file
# SpringDoc configurations
springdoc.swagger-ui.doc-expansion=none
springdoc.swagger-ui.operations-sorter=alpha
springdoc.swagger-ui.tags-sorter=alpha
  • Insert Redis configurations into
    application.properties
    file
# Redis configurations
spring.data.redis.host=localhost
spring.data.redis.port=6379
spring.data.redis.password=rootroot
  • Insert R2DBC configurations into
    application.properties
    file
# R2DBC configurations
spring.r2dbc.url=r2dbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.r2dbc.username=postgres
spring.r2dbc.password=rootroot

spring.sql.init.mode=always
spring.sql.init.platform=postgres
spring.sql.init.continue-on-error=true
  • Insert MongoDB configurations into
    application.properties
    file
# MongoDB configurations
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=admin
spring.data.mongodb.username=root
spring.data.mongodb.password=rootroot
spring.data.mongodb.database=test
  • Create

    docker-compose.yaml
    at project root and add following services:
    redis:6
    ,
    postgresql:17
    and
    mongo:8
    .

    • redis service should have
      • password
        rootroot
      • mapping port 6379 to 6379
      • mounting volume
        ./redis_data
        to
        /data
    • postgresql service should have
      • password
        rootroot
      • mapping port 5432 to 5432
      • mounting volume
        ./postgres_data
        to
        /var/lib/postgresql/data
    • mongo service should have
      • initdb root username
        root
      • initdb root password
        rootroot
      • mapping port 27017 to 27017
      • mounting volume
        ./mongo_data
        to
        /data/db
  • Insert

    redis_data
    ,
    postgres_data
    and
    mongo_data
    directories in
    .gitignore
    file

  • Run gradle clean test command to check if the project is working

./gradlew clean test
  • (Optional)
    docker-compose up -d
    to start the services,
    ./gradlew spring-boot:run
    to run the Spring Boot project,
    docker-compose rm -sf
    to stop the services.

Let's do this step by step.
