Link: https://www.javaguides.net/2019/02/spring-boot-2-angular-7-crud-example-
tutorial.html?fbclid=IwAR3dtxbT_pKqVJL8g_XlBH55JxdkH2tfa66mWmKvx1Ls_TcU6J87bvHAi5M
In this tutorial, we will learn how to develop a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Web
Application using Angular 7 as a front-end and Spring boot 2 restful API as a backend.
If you are looking for Angular 6 with spring boot 2 integration example then check
out Spring Boot + Angular 6 CRUD Example article.
You can download the source code of this tutorial from my GitHub repository at end of
this tutorial.
What we will build?
Basically, we will create two projects:
1. springboot2-jpa-crud-example: This project is used to develop CRUD RESTFul
APIs for a simple Employee Management System using Spring Boot 2, JPA and
MySQL as a database.
2. angular7-springboot-client: This project is used to develop single page
application using Angular 7 as front-end technology. This Angular 7 application
consumes CRUD Restful APIs developed and exposed by a springboot2-jpa-crud-
example project.
Let me list out tools and technologies used to develop these two applications.
Tools and technologies used
Server-side technologies
Spring Boot - 2.0.4.RELEASE
JDK - 1.8 or later
Spring Framework - 5.0.8 RELEASE
Hibernate - 5.2.17.Final
Spring Data JPA - 2+
Front end technologies
Angular 7.2
Bootstrap 4
npm- 6.4.1
JQuery
Tools
Maven - 3.2+
IDE - Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite (STS)
Visual Studio 2017
Angular CLI
Spring Boot CRUD Rest APIs
Let's first we will build a CRUD RESTFul APIs for a Simple Employee Management
System using Spring Boot 2 JPA and MySQL. Later we will consume these Rest APIs using
Angular 7 client application. Following are five REST APIs (Controller handler methods) are
created for Employee resource.
1. Creating and Importing a Project
There are many ways to create a Spring Boot application. The simplest way is to use Spring
Initializrat http://start.spring.io/, which is an online Spring Boot application generator.
Look at the above diagram, we have specified the following details:
Generate: Maven Project
Java Version: 1.8 (Default)
Spring Boot:2.0.4
Group: net.guides.springboot2
Artifact: springboot2-jpa-crud-example
Name: springboot2-jpa-crud-example
Description: Rest API for a Simple Employee Management Application
Package Name : net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample
Packaging: jar (This is the default value)
Dependencies: Web, JPA, MySQL, DevTools
Once, all the details are entered, click on Generate Project button will generate a spring boot project
and downloads it. Next, Unzip the downloaded zip file and import it into your favorite IDE.
2. Packaging Structure
Following is the packing structure of our Employee Management System -
3. The pom.xml File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

4. Configuring MySQL Database
Configure application.properties to connect to your MySQL database. Let's open an
application.properties file and add the following database configuration to it. Also,
note that we have added MySQL dependency to pom.xml so spring boot will auto-
configure all database related beans and configurations internally.
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/users_database?useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password = root
## Hibernate Properties
# The SQL dialect makes Hibernate generate better SQL for the chosen database
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect =
org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update)
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update
Change the above configuration such as JDBC URL, username and password as per your
environment.
5. Create JPA Entity - Employee.java
package net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.model;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@Table(name = "employees")
public class Employee {
private long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String emailId;
public Employee() {
public Employee(String firstName, String lastName, String emailId) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.emailId = emailId;
}
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
@Column(name = "first_name", nullable = false)
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
@Column(name = "last_name", nullable = false)
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
@Column(name = "email_address", nullable = false)
public String getEmailId() {
return emailId;
}
public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
this.emailId = emailId;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Employee [id=" + id + ", firstName=" + firstName + ",
lastName=" + lastName + ", emailId=" + emailId
+ "]";
}
6. Create Spring Data Repository - EmployeeRepository.java
package net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.repository;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.model.Employee;
@Repository
public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee,
Long>{
7. Create Spring Rest Controller - EmployeeController.java
package net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.controller;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.validation.Valid;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.DeleteMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PutMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import
net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.exception.ResourceNotFou
ndException;
import net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.model.Employee;
import
net.guides.springboot2.springboot2jpacrudexample.repository.EmployeeRepos
itory;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1")
public class EmployeeController {
@Autowired
private EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;
@GetMapping("/employees")
public List<Employee> getAllEmployees() {
return employeeRepository.findAll();
}
@GetMapping("/employees/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<Employee> getEmployeeById(@PathVariable(value =
"id") Long employeeId)
throws ResourceNotFoundException {
Employee employee = employeeRepository.findById(employeeId)
.orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("Employee not
found for this id :: " + employeeId));
return ResponseEntity.ok().body(employee);
}
@PostMapping("/employees")
public Employee createEmployee(@Valid @RequestBody Employee employee)
{
return employeeRepository.save(employee);
}
@PutMapping("/employees/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<Employee> updateEmployee(@PathVariable(value =
"id") Long employeeId,
@Valid @RequestBody Employee employeeDetails) throws
ResourceNotFoundException {
Employee employee = employeeRepository.findById(employeeId)
.orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("Employee not
found for this id :: " + employeeId));
employee.setEmailId(employeeDetails.getEmailId());
employee.setLastName(employeeDetails.getLastName());
employee.setFirstName(employeeDetails.getFirstName());
final Employee updatedEmployee =
employeeRepository.save(employee);
return ResponseEntity.ok(updatedEmployee);
}
@DeleteMapping("/employees/{id}")
public Map<String, Boolean> deleteEmployee(@PathVariable(value =
"id") Long employeeId)
throws ResourceNotFoundException {
Employee employee = employeeRepository.findById(employeeId)
.orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("Employee not
found for this id :: " + employeeId));
employeeRepository.delete(employee);
Map<String, Boolean> response = new HashMap<>();
response.put("deleted", Boolean.TRUE);
return response;
}
}
8. Running Application
This spring boot application has an entry point Java class
called SpringBootCrudRestApplication.java with the public static void main(String[] args) method,
which you can run to start the application.
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
The main() method uses Spring Boot’s SpringApplication.run() method to launch an application.
Or you can start spring boot application via command line using mvn spring-boot:run command.
This completes the development of Spring boot CRUD Rest APIs. Now we will develop client
application using Angular 7.
Angular 7 Client Application
Let's develop a step by step CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Web Application using
Angular 7 which consume above CRUD rest APIs.
Good to know Angular 7 release notes and new features at Version 7 of Angular — CLI
Prompts, Virtual Scroll, Drag and Drop and more.
I assume that you have installed Node.js. Now, we need to check the Node.js and NPM
versions. Open the terminal or Node command line then type this commands.
node -v
v8.12.0
npm -v
6.4.1
That's the Node.js and NPM version that we are using. Now, you can go to the main steps.
Install or Update Angular 7 CLI and Create Application
To install or update Angular 7 CLI, type this command in the Terminal or Node Command
Line.
npm install -g @angular/cli
Now, you have the latest version of Angular CLI.
ng --version
Angular CLI: 7.0.1
Node: 8.12.0
OS: darwin x64
Angular:
...
Package Version
------------------------------------------------------
@angular-devkit/architect 0.10.1
@angular-devkit/core 7.0.1
@angular-devkit/schematics 7.0.1
@schematics/angular 7.0.1
@schematics/update 0.10.1
rxjs 6.3.3
typescript 3.1.3
Next, create a new Angular 7 Web Application using this Angular CLI command.
The Angular CLI is a command-line interface tool that you use to initialize, develop,
scaffold, and maintain Angular applications.
If you are new to Angular CLI then check out official documentation
at https://cli.angular.io.
Create Angular 7 client application using Angular CLI
Let's use below command to generate an Angular 7 Client application. We name this
project as "angular7-springboot-client".
ng new angular7-springboot-client
Components, Services, and Modules
Let's list out what are components, service, and modules we are going to create in this
application. We will use Angular CLI to generate components, services because Angular
CLI follows best practices and saves much of time.
1. Components
create-employee
employee-list
employee-details
2. Services
employee.service.ts - Service for Http Client methods
3. Modules
FormsModule
HttpClientModule
AppRoutingModule.
4. Employee Class (Typescript class)
employee.ts: class Employee (id, firstName, lastName, emailId)
In this next step, we will generate these components, classes, and services using Angular
CLI.
Create Service & Components
Let's auto-generate service and components using Angular CLI. Change your project
directory to angular7-springboot-client\src\app and run the following commands:
- ng g s employee
– ng g c create-employee
– ng g c employee-details
– ng g c employee-list
Here is complete command and output for your reference:
C:\angular7\angular7-springboot-client\src\app>ng g s employee
CREATE src/app/employee.service.spec.ts (343 bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee.service.ts (137 bytes)
C:\angular7\angular7-springboot-client\src\app>ng g c create-employee
CREATE src/app/create-employee/create-employee.component.html (34 bytes)
CREATE src/app/create-employee/create-employee.component.spec.ts (685
bytes)
CREATE src/app/create-employee/create-employee.component.ts (304 bytes)
CREATE src/app/create-employee/create-employee.component.css (0 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (509 bytes)
C:\angular7\angular7-springboot-client\src\app>ng g c employee-details
CREATE src/app/employee-details/employee-details.component.html (35
bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-details/employee-details.component.spec.ts (692
bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-details/employee-details.component.ts (308 bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-details/employee-details.component.css (0 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (629 bytes)
C:\angular7\angular7-springboot-client\src\app>ng g c employee-list
CREATE src/app/employee-list/employee-list.component.html (32 bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-list/employee-list.component.spec.ts (671 bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-list/employee-list.component.ts (296 bytes)
CREATE src/app/employee-list/employee-list.component.css (0 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (737 bytes)
We will use Bootstrap 4 for styling our application so let's integrate bootstrap 4 with
Angular 7.
Integrate Bootstrap with Angular
Use NPM to download Bootstrap & JQuery. Bootstrap and jQuery will be installed into the
node_modules folder.
npm install bootstrap jquery --save
Configure installed Bootstrap & JQuery in an angular.json file:
...
"styles": [
"src/styles.css",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
"scripts": [
"node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
]
...
Let's discuss each of the above generate components and service files and we will
customize it as per our requirement.
package.json
This file Configures npm package dependencies that are available to all projects in the
workspace.

}
}
Create Employee class - employee.ts
Before defining the EmployeeListComponent, let’s define an Employee class for working
with employees. create a new file employee.ts inside src/app folder and add the
following code to it -
export class Employee {
id: number;
firstName: string;
lastName: string;
emailId: string;
active: boolean;
}
EmployeeService - employee-list.component.ts
The EmployeeService will be used to get the data from backend by calling spring boot
APIs. Update the employee.service.ts file inside src/app directory with the following
code to it -
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class EmployeeService {
private baseUrl = '/api/v1/employees';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getEmployee(id: number): Observable<Object> {
return this.http.get(`${this.baseUrl}/${id}`);
}
createEmployee(employee: Object): Observable<Object> {
return this.http.post(`${this.baseUrl}`, employee);
}
updateEmployee(id: number, value: any): Observable<Object> {
return this.http.put(`${this.baseUrl}/${id}`, value);
}
deleteEmployee(id: number): Observable<any> {
return this.http.delete(`${this.baseUrl}/${id}`, { responseType:
'text' });
}
getEmployeesList(): Observable<any> {
return this.http.get(`${this.baseUrl}`);
}
}
EmployeeListComponent - employee-list.component.ts
Let's update the EmployeeListComponent component which will be used to display a list
of employee, create a new employee, and delete an employee.
Update/remove the content of employee-list.component.ts inside src/app directory
and add the following code to it -
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import { EmployeeService } from "./../employee.service";
import { Employee } from "./../employee";
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
selector: "app-employee-list",
templateUrl: "./employee-list.component.html",
styleUrls: ["./employee-list.component.css"]
})
export class EmployeeListComponent implements OnInit {
employees: Observable<Employee[]>;
constructor(private employeeService: EmployeeService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.reloadData();
}
reloadData() {
this.employees = this.employeeService.getEmployeesList();
}
deleteEmployee(id: number) {
this.employeeService.deleteEmployee(id)
.subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
this.reloadData();
},
error => console.log(error));
}
}
Create a template for EmployeeListComponent - employee-list.component.html
Update employee-list.component.html file with the following code to it -
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h1>Employees</h1>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr *ngFor="let employee of employees | async">
<td>{{employee.firstName}}</td>
<td>{{employee.lastName}}</td>
<td>{{employee.emailId}}</td>
<td><button
(click)="deleteEmployee(employee.id)">Delete</button></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
CreateEmployeeComponent - create-employee.component.ts
CreateEmployeeComponent is used to create and handle a new employee form data. Add
the following code to it -
import { EmployeeService } from './../employee.service';
import { Employee } from './../employee';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-create-employee',
templateUrl: './create-employee.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./create-employee.component.css']
})
export class CreateEmployeeComponent implements OnInit {
employee: Employee = new Employee();
submitted = false;
constructor(private employeeService: EmployeeService) { }
ngOnInit() {
}
newEmployee(): void {
this.submitted = false;
this.employee = new Employee();
}
save() {
this.employeeService.createEmployee(this.employee)
.subscribe(data => console.log(data), error => console.log(error));
this.employee = new Employee();
}
onSubmit() {
this.submitted = true;
this.save();
}
}
Create a template for EmployeeCreateComponent create-
employee.component.html
<h3>Create Employee</h3>
<div [hidden]="submitted" style="width: 400px;">
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName"
required [(ngModel)]="employee.firstName" name="firstName">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="lastName"
required [(ngModel)]="employee.lastName" name="lastName">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="emailId" required
[(ngModel)]="employee.emailId" name="emailId">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
<div [hidden]="!submitted">
<h4>You submitted successfully!</h4>
</div>
EmployeeDetailsComponent- employee-details.component.ts
This component shows details of employee -
import { Employee } from './../employee';
import { Component, OnInit, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { EmployeeService } from '../employee.service';
import { EmployeeListComponent } from '../employee-list/employee-
list.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-employee-details',
templateUrl: './employee-details.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./employee-details.component.css']
})
export class EmployeeDetailsComponent implements OnInit {
@Input() employee: Employee;
constructor(private employeeService: EmployeeService, private
listComponent: EmployeeListComponent) { }
ngOnInit() {
}
}
Create a template for EmployeeDetailsComponent employee-
details.component.html
<div *ngIf="employee">
<div>
<label>Name: </label> {{employee.firstName}}
</div>
<div>
<label>Age: </label> {{employee.lastName}}

export class AppRoutingModule { }
AppComponent - app/app.component.ts
Defines the logic for the app's root component, named AppComponent. The view
associated with this root component becomes the root of the view hierarchy as you add
components and services to your app.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',

styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'Angular 7 + Spring Boot 2 + Spring Data JPA + MySQL + CRUD
Tutorial';
}
app/app.component.html
Defines the HTML template associated with the root AppComponent.
<div class="container">

</ul>
</nav>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>
app/app.module.ts
Defines the root module, named AppModule, that tells Angular how to assemble the
application. Initially declares only the AppComponent. As you add more components to the
app, they must be declared here.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

})
export class AppModule { }
As we already started Spring boot application. Now let's run this Angular 7 application.
Running Angular 7 Application
Let's run the above developed Angular App with a command: ng serve

based on employee id you can implement update functionality. Note that Rest API is
