"street": "123 Main St",
"city": "Mumbai",
"state": "MH",
"postalCode": "400001",
"country": "India"
}
}
Response (Success - HTTP Status 201 Created):
json
CopyEdit

"path": "/api/customers"
}

3. Entity Definitions
Clearly define all required entities or database tables:
Example Entity (Customer):
java
CopyEdit
@Entity
public class Customer {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;

private String firstName;


private String lastName;
@Column(unique = true)
private String email;
private String phoneNumber;

@Embedded
private Address address;

private LocalDateTime createdAt;


private LocalDateTime updatedAt;
// Getters and Setters
}
Example Embedded Entity (Address):
java
CopyEdit
@Embeddable
public class Address {
private String street;
private String city;
private String state;
private String postalCode;
private String country;

// Getters and Setters


}

4. Database Specifications
 Specify Database type (SQL/NoSQL)
 Specify Schema or Data Migration preference (Flyway/Liquibase if
required)
 Detail any constraints (e.g., unique, not-null, foreign keys, indexing)

5. Business Logic and Validation


Clearly specify business logic and validation requirements:
Example:
 Email should be unique.
 Phone numbers should follow the E.164 standard format.
 All fields are mandatory except the phone number, which is optional.

 Specify role-based access (e.g., Admin, User, Viewer).
 Mention if JWT/OAuth2 or Basic Authentication is to be implemented.
 List permissions clearly for each role and endpoint.

7. Logging and Exception Handling


Define expectations regarding:
 How exceptions should be logged and handled.
 Use standard Spring Boot @ControllerAdvice for centralized exception
handling.
 Specify preferred logging framework (e.g., Log4j2, SLF4J).

8. Testing
Specify testing requirements clearly:
 Unit tests (JUnit 5)
 Integration tests (Testcontainers if DB is involved)
 Provide at least one example test case clearly in the prompt.
Example Test Scenario:
 Verify that creating a new customer succeeds with valid input and returns
HTTP 201.
 Verify that creating a new customer with duplicate email fails with HTTP
400.

9. Documentation
Specify documentation requirements:
 Use OpenAPI/Swagger for API documentation.
 Generate interactive Swagger UI accessible at /swagger-ui.

10. Additional Requirements (Optional)


Specify any additional features or integrations clearly:
 Rate limiting
 API versioning strategy
 Pagination and sorting standards
 Internationalization (i18n) if needed
 CORS configuration
