Getting Started

An easy way to bootstrap setting up a working environment is to create a Spring-based


project via start.spring.io or create a Spring project in Spring Tools.

Examples Repository
The GitHub spring-data-examples repository hosts several examples that you can download
and play around with to get a feel for how the library works.

Hello World
Let’s start with a simple entity and its corresponding repository:

JAVA
@Entity
class Person {

@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)


private Long id;
private String name;

// getters and setters omitted for brevity


}

interface PersonRepository extends Repository<Person, Long> {

Person save(Person person);

Optional<Person> findById(long id);


}

Create the main application to run, as the following example shows:

JAVA
@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {


SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}

@Bean
CommandLineRunner runner(PersonRepository repository) {
return args -> {

Person person = new Person();


person.setName("John");

repository.save(person);
Person saved = repository.findById(person.getId()).orElseThrow(NoSuch
};
}
}

Even in this simple example, there are a few notable things to point out:

Repository instances are automatically implemented. When used as parameters of


@Bean methods, these will be autowired without further need for annotations.

The basic repository extends Repository . We suggest to consider how much API
surface you want to expose towards your application. More complex repository
interfaces are ListCrudRepository or JpaRepository .
